What happened to prices between 2022 and 2024
Between 2022 and 2024, the Consumer Price Index went from 292.655 to 313.689.
Cumulatively, prices increased 7.2%, which works out to an average of
3.53% per year. Put differently, a dollar in 2022 bought what
$0.93 buys in 2024: the 2022 dollar
lost 6.7% of its purchasing power over
these 2 years.
2022 was the year inflation returned. Consumer prices rose 8.0% on average,
the worst since 1981, driven by pandemic-era supply chains, stimulus-fueled
demand, and an energy shock from the war in Ukraine. Gas briefly topped $5 a
gallon nationally for the first time ever, and “inflation” became the
top-ranked economic concern in nearly every poll of American households.
Every 2022 amount converts to 2024 at the same ratio, 1.07: $1,000 becomes
$1,072, and $10,000 becomes $10,719.

Year by year: CPI and the value of $100 from 2022
$100 from 2022 had already become $104 by
2023, on its way to $107 in 2024; each row shows the CPI, that
year's inflation rate, and the running value.
Within the span, inflation peaked at 4.1% in 2023, and the smallest rise was 2.9% in 2024.
In 2024, prices rose 2.9% and $100 from 2022 had the buying
power of $107; the year's average CPI of 313.689 is the level
behind every 2024 figure on this page.
2024 brought inflation close to normal without fully reaching it. Consumer
prices rose 2.9% on average, the smallest yearly increase since 2020, and the
December-to-December rate was also 2.9%. Gasoline averaged $3.30 a gallon,
below 2023’s $3.52. Shelter stayed the biggest driver of the index, so the
pace of price growth in categories that households can’t easily avoid, such as
rent and insurance, lagged the drop in goods and energy costs.
The Federal Reserve declared progress in September, cutting its policy rate
by half a point, the first reduction since the pandemic emergency, and then
by a quarter point in November and again in December. Mortgage rates near 7%
kept the housing market frozen for many would-be buyers.
Median household income was $83,730, the federal minimum wage stayed at $7.25,
and a first-class stamp rose to 73 cents in July. After the November election,
attention turned to how announced tariffs and tax policy might affect prices
in 2025.
