Bitcoin yearly inflation rate?

[bitrick]

Has anyone calculated a graph of the inflation rate over time? (The derivative of the total BTC).

I have seen the long term calculated Bitcoin generation graph that maxes out at 21M. That is not what I want.

Or alternatively, is there a table of approximate inflation, e.g.:

(These are made up numbers)
Date  StartBTC  EndBTC     Inflation
2009    0            1M             Infinite
2010    1M          3.8M         380%
2011    3.8M        6.5M        102%
....
2050    21.45M       21.46M       .02%

Is there such a table or graph? I can probably calculate out the numbers myself but is it already done somewhere?

thanks in advance

The inflation rate reflects the rise of general prices, not the number of existing bitcoins. That's something completly different.

(I changed the word from "inflation" to BTC Increase rate - only to avoid a pointless argument over whether inflation is a monetary phenomena or a pricing phenomena. I am well aware of that debate in economics, but it should be clear in this context what I meant: monetary inflation)

Answering my own question, here is the table:

Year	New BTCs/yr	Start BTCs	End BTCs	BTC Increase
2009	2625000	0	2625000	infinite
2010	2625000	2625000	5250000	100.0%
2011	2625000	5250000	7875000	50.0%
2012	2625000	7875000	10500000	33.3%
2013	1312500	10500000	11812500	12.5%
2014	1312500	11812500	13125000	11.1%
2015	1312500	13125000	14437500	10.0%
2016	1312500	14437500	15750000	9.1%
2017	656250	15750000	16406250	4.2%
2018	656250	16406250	17062500	4.0%
2019	656250	17062500	17718750	3.8%
2020	656250	17718750	18375000	3.7%
2021	328125	18375000	18703125	1.8%
2022	328125	18703125	19031250	1.8%
2023	328125	19031250	19359375	1.7%
2024	328125	19359375	19687500	1.7%
2025	164062.5	19687500	19851562.5	0.8%
2026	164062.5	19851562.5	20015625	0.8%
2027	164062.5	20015625	20179687.5	0.8%
2028	164062.5	20179687.5	20343750	0.8%
2029	82031.25	20343750	20425781.25	0.4%
2030	82031.25	20425781.25	20507812.5	0.4%
2031	82031.25	20507812.5	20589843.75	0.4%
2032	82031.25	20589843.75	20671875	0.4%
2033	41015.625	20671875	20712890.63	0.2%

Hope this table format comes out right.
It looks like another few years until Bitcoin generation rate is in the same reported range for existing "printed" currencies.
Demand may remain strong, however, so the above says nothing about what relative value it will have.

You can go to
   http://blockexplorer.com/q/totalbc
and get the current total.
Then while bitcoin generates 50 coin per block (until 2013, right?)
   rate = 100% * 50.0 * 6*24*365 / totalbc
As I was writing this, totalbc was 7207850.
   rate = 100% * 50.0 * 6*24*365 / 7207850.0 = 36.46%
