It is projected that the CPI will continue to rise year over year, reaching 298.06 in 2026. The Consumer Price Index of all urban consumers in previous years was lower, and has risen every year since 1992, except in 2009, when the CPI went from 215.30 in 2008 to 214.54 in 2009. The monthly unadjusted Consumer Price Index was 264.88 for the month of March in 2021.The US CPI measures change in the price of consumer goods and services purchased by households and a key value in calculating US inflation and the health of the economy. The US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the CPI and defines it as, "a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services." The BLS records the price of thousands of goods and services month by month. They consider goods and services within eight main categories: food and beverage, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education, and other goods and services. They aggregate the data collected in order to compare how much it would cost a consumer to buy the same market basket of goods and services one month or year against how much it cost in a previous month or year. Given that the CPI is used to calculate US inflation, the CPI influences the annual adjustments of many financial institutions in the United States, both private and public. Wages, social security payments, and pensions are all affected by the CPI.

本统计数据展示了2010年至2020年美国消费者价格指数的变化情况，并额外预测至2026年的数据。基期设定为1982年至1984年。预计2021年的年度消费者价格指数将达到约264.71。预测2026年美国的通货膨胀率将达到2.25%。根据国际货币基金组织发布的数据，2020年美国的消费者价格指数（CPI）为258.84，相对于1982年至1984年的基期。预计CPI将逐年上升，到2026年将达到298.06。过去几年的城市消费者价格指数普遍较低，自1992年以来逐年上升，唯一例外的是2009年，当年CPI从2008年的215.30降至2009年的214.54。2021年3月，未经调整的月度消费者价格指数为264.88。美国的CPI衡量的是家庭购买消费品和服务的价格变动，是计算美国通货膨胀和经济健康状况的关键指标。美国劳工部劳工统计局负责计算CPI，并将其定义为：“衡量城市消费者为市场篮子中的消费品和服务支付的平均价格随时间变化的指标。”劳工统计局每月记录数千种商品和服务的价格。他们考虑的商品和服务分为八个主要类别：食品饮料、住房、服装、交通、医疗保健、娱乐、教育和其他商品服务。他们汇总收集到的数据，以便比较消费者在一个月或一年内购买相同市场篮子商品和服务的成本与之前月份或年份的成本之间的差异。鉴于CPI用于计算美国通货膨胀，CPI影响了美国众多金融机构的年度调整，包括私营和公共部门。工资、社会保障支付和养老金都受到CPI的影响。
