This tool aids in figuring out the effect inflation plays on money over time. It bases its calculations using the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI). For example, if your grandfather purchased a Ford Model T for $600 back in 1914, what would that sum be in today’s dollars? According to the tool, $600 in 1914 translates into $13,974.76 in 2014 dollars.

If you are using a printed or microfilm index for the censuses from 1880, 1900, 1910, or 1920, you will need the Soundex code for your surname. These censuses do not have indexes like the earlier censuses. Use this page to get the code. (If you are searching an online index, such as the ones on Ancestry or FamilySearch, you will not need the Soundex code.)
