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 2024 CPI to the 1990 CPI.
factor = CPI(2024) / CPI(1990) = 2.4040
annual = factor^(1/34) − 1 = 0.0261 (2.61%)
annual = factor^(1/34) − 1 = 0.0261 (2.61%)
