Inflation calculator

The inflation calculator at http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ will calculate prices for the years 1800 through 2006.
What cost $100 in 2006 would cost $4.62 in 1888.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 1888 and 2006, they would cost you $100 and $2164.02 respectively.
What cost $.50 in 2006 would cost $0.02 in 1888.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 1888 and 2006, they would cost you $.50 and $10.82 respectively.
