Value of $40 from 1800 to 2022

$40 in 1800 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $940.67 today, an increase of $900.67 over 222 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 1.43% per year between 1800 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,251.67%.

This means that today’s prices are 23.52 times higher than average prices since 1800, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 4.252% of what it could buy back then.

The inflation rate in 1800 was 2.44%. The current inflation rate compared to last year is now 9.06%. If this number holds, $40 today will be equivalent in buying power to $43.62 next year. The current inflation rate page gives more detail on the latest inflation rates.

Buying power of $40 in 1800

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for $40 in 1800 (price index tracking began in 1635).

For example, if you started with $40, you would need to end with $940.67 in order to “adjust” for inflation (sometimes refered to as “beating inflation”).

 

When $40 is equivalent to $940.67 over time, that means that the “real value” of a single U.S. dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 1800 dollars, the chart below shows how $40 is worth less over 222 years.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, each of these USD amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

Inflation by Country

Inflation can also vary widely by country. For comparison, in the UK £40.00 in 1800 would be equivalent to £3,724.01 in 2022, an absolute change of £3,684.01 and a cumulative change of 9,210.04%.

Compare these numbers to the US’s overall absolute change of $900.67 and total percent change of 2,251.67%.


Inflation by Spending Category

CPI is the weighted combination of many categories of spending that are tracked by the government. Breaking down these categories helps explain the main drivers behind price changes.

This chart shows the average rate of inflation for select CPI categories between 1800 and 2022.

Compare these values to the overall average of 1.43% per year:

Category Avg Inflation (%) Total Inflation (%) $40 in 1800 → 2022
Food and beverages 3.96 549,788.09 219,955.24

How to calculate inflation rate for $40 since 1800

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1800 and today:

CPI todayCPI in 1800
×
1800 USD value
=
Today’s value

Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.S. CPI was 12.6 in the year 1800 and 296.311 in 2022:

296.31112.6
×
$40
=
$940.67

$40 in 1800 has the same “purchasing power” or “buying power” as $940.67 in 2022.

To get the total inflation rate for the 222 years between 1800 and 2022, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2022 – CPI in 1800CPI in 1800
×
100
=
Cumulative inflation rate (222 years)

Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:

296.311 – 12.612.6
×
100
=
2,252%
