A term you may hear thrown around sometimes is CPM. CPM stands for Combat Power Multiplier and is a number that Niantic uses in some of its formulas. CPM is used for CP mechanics, and Catch Mechanics.
CPM values are the same for every Pokémon for each half level, and are listed below along with the stardust cost of each level:
