For those of us in the USA, the federal BLS has a nice inflation 
calculator that can take a dollar amount on date 1 and tell you what the 
equivalent inflation-adjusted dollar amount would be for date 2.

https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

For example, I just plugged in $100 for January 2000 and asked for the 
dollar amount January 2024, and it says $182.71.

for those living in other countries. ***  Each country has its own 
inflation rates, which may be far enough apart in certain years to make 
a pretty large difference in the results.
