Cost of Living Calculator

When you want to know how much $100 in 1913 would be worth today, the American Institute for Economic Research has a nifty Cost of Living Calculator on its website. The answer to the question is $1,945.45.

The calculator begins at 1913 and goes through 2005. You can compare different years. Say you wanted to know what $100 in 1913 was worth in 2000 ($1,739.39), you can compare that way or the opposite way - $100 in 2000 was worth $5.75 in 1913.
