You can see the CPI index values at

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0

Year over Year (12 months):
June 2024: 313.131
June 2025: 321.500
+2.67%

Latest month change:
May 2025: 320.580
June 2025: 321.500
+0.287% (rounds to the reported +0.3%)

You can see year-over-year numbers by clicking "More Formatting Options" at the upper right
and on the page that appears, click the "12 month percent change" box, and any others you want to check, like "one month percent change".

Similarly, CORE CPI data series: http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUSR0000SA0L1E
+2.91%
+0.228% (rounds to the reported +0.2%)

The increases they report are the increases in their index values (the cost of a hypothetical basket of goods and services). They are not increases above and beyond "existing inflation".
