How this was calculated
Based on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI). The cumulative inflation factor is the ratio of the 2025 CPI to the 1960 CPI.
factor = CPI(2025) / CPI(1960) = 10.8311
annual = factor^(1/65) − 1 = 0.0373 (3.73%)
annual = factor^(1/65) − 1 = 0.0373 (3.73%)
