• 1

  United States publishes inflation figures in US Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in United States rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  Keep the inflation amount and rate for United States on one period and one basis — monthly US Dollar figures with an annual rate, or gross with net, give a number that is arithmetically right but misleading in practice.

• 3

  Currency is part of the math: this United States inflation computes in US Dollar, so convert a foreign source figure first — applying a local rate to a foreign amount silently inflates or deflates the result.

• Quoted rates are rarely effective rates: United States providers may advertise a nominal figure while fees raise the true cost in US Dollar. Compare on one basis — effective rate, same period — before trusting the Inflation output.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the United States Inflation field expects before you type.
