Inflation Rate

The inflation rate is the percentage change in the overall price level over a specified period, commonly year over year, as measured by price indexes such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index.

Example: The latest inflation rate reported by the CPI was 3.2% year over year, indicating a rise in the general price level compared with the previous year.
