The prices of these goods and services fluctuate over a period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The government tracks the prices of the most commonly used goods and services over a period of time, known as a basket. It commonly denotes the cost of these goods and services as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). If the CPI increases, it is known as inflation, and if it decreases, it is known as deflation.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose the CPI was 100 at the beginning of the year, and by the end of the year, it reached 110. Therefore, one can say that the annual inflation rate is 10%.

Following is the inflation rate formula:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Inflation = [CPIx + 1 \u2013 CPIx \/ CPIx] * 100<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the CPIx relates to the initial Consumer Price Index<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One should use the following formula to calculate the CPI:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>CPI = (Cost of Basket in Current Year \/ Cost of Basket in the Base Year) * 100<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, the price of one liter of milk is Rs. 40 in the base year.

Therefore, the inflation will be as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Rs. 50 \u2013 Rs. 40 \/ Rs. 40) * 100 = 25%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Beat_Inflation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Beat Inflation?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As inflation is the continuous decline of your money\u2019s purchasing power, it is essential not to keep your money idle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, the <\/span>annual inflation rate in India is 7%-8%.
