BLS does indeed have an inflation calculator!
https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm
From that page:
> The CPI inflation calculator uses the Consumer Price Index[link] for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) U.S. city average series for all items, not seasonally adjusted. This data[link] represents changes in the prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households.
Clicking "this data" leads to https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0 https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SA0, which lists the same reference base that Big Time specifies:
> Base Period: 1982-84=100
