CPI taken from https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

I fudged the CPI calculation a bit because I didn't do the compounding monthly, but I ensured that based on the CPI calculator, the starting value of $11.99 -> $16.43 from January 2013 -> December 2024.

To be fair, I think CPI is somewhat bullshit, but it was the easiest .gov source for inflation data that I knew about.

Data:

Year Basic Standard with Ads Standard Premium Premium Following CPI CPI Inflation %
2011 $7.99 - - - -
2012 $7.99 - - - -
2013 $7.99 - $9.99 $11.99 $11.99 1.58%
2014 $7.99 - $10.99 $13.99 $12.19 -0.89%
2015 $7.99 - $11.99 $14.99 $12.09 1.37%
2016 $7.99 - $11.99 $14.99 $12.26 2.50%
2017 $7.99 - $12.99 $15.99 $12.57 2.07%
2018 $7.99 - $12.99 $15.99 $12.84 1.55%
2019 $8.99 - $13.99 $16.99 $13.05 2.49%
2020 $8.99 - $14.99 $18.99 $13.38 1.40%
2021 $8.99 - $14.99 $18.99 $13.58 7.48%
2022 $9.99 - $15.49 $19.99 $14.60 6.41%
2023 Phased Out $6.99 $15.49 $19.99 $15.55 3.09%
2024 $6.99 $15.49 $22.99 $16.04 2.33%
2025 $7.99 $17.99 $24.99 $16.43 -

edit: fixed a calculation mistake (accidentally was using 2012->2025 inflation not 2013->2025) edit 2: zeroed y axis
