how is inflation calculated

208 views

ok, suppose the news says inflation is up 8% this month. And last month it rose 7%. When is the starting point? Does this mean that over the past 2 months that things cost on average 15% more than they did 2 months ago?

Those numbers are compared to the same month last year. So, it doesn’t mean that prices have risen 15%.
