Measuring Inflation through WPI Index that traces the relative changes in
the price of an individual good (or a market basket of goods) over time
It is calculated for wholesale prices in which the quantities of the base year and current year are different
It gives an idea of the week-to-week fluctuations in the prices of all the traded commodities in the country as a whole
It is also substituted for the annual average inflation at times

Calculation of WPI WPI is calculated on a base year. Assume for base
year 2004 and price is 100
Let’s calculate WPI for the year 2010 of wheat. Assume price of per kg of wheat in 2004 = Rs 6.00 and in 2010 = Rs 6.50
WIP for 2010 = ((Price in 2010 – Price in 2004 )/ Price in 2004) x 100
(6.50 – 6.00)/6.00 x 100 = 8.33
So WPI for 2010 will become 100 + 8.33 = 108.33.

Calculation of Inflation Let us say that we have WPI for the beginning and the end
of year
Inflation rate = (WPI of end of year – WPI of beginning of year)/WPI of beginning of year x 100
WPI on Jan 1st 2010 is 108.33, WPI on Jan 1st 2011 is 112.33
Inflation rate for 2011 = (112.33 – 108.33)/108.33 x 100 = 3.69% .
That is to say that the inflation rate for the year 2011 is 3.69%.
