Inflation factors are derived from the most recent implicit price deflator for gross domestic product published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in its Survey of Current Business (https://apps.bea.gov/scb/). The annual inflation factor is the result of dividing the latest published annual deflator by the deflator for the previous year.

* Until the third estimate is published around March of the following year, the annual inflation factor is assumed to be equal to the average inflation over the past 5 calendar years.

As Required by ss. NR 520.07(5) and NR 664.0142(2), Wis. Adm. Code.
