Inflation Calculator by country

This inflation calculator measures the purchasing power of money over time based on official CPI (Consumer Price Index) data published regularly. The result indicates the change in cost of buying the same goods and services between the chosen time periods.

How to use it?

To start, select a country or location. This will pre-select the other available fields based on the data available. Enter an amount, select the start and end time periods, and click 'Calculate'.

Calculation Notes

Annual calculations provide a result accurate enough for most use cases, calculated based on average monthly CPI values for the selected years. For additional accuracy use the monthly mode.
In annual calculations, when the selected end year is the same as the current year, the result will display the amount equivalent in purchasing power today.
To calculatate the change in prices for a whole year, use the monthly mode and use December last year as the starting period. For example, to calculate the change in prices in 2024, select '2024-12' as the start period and '2024-12' as the end period.
For countries such as Australia and New Zealand, the monthly calculation is not available as they don't report CPI values monthly.
Calculations done by quarter are equivalent to the average of doing the same calculation for the 3 corresponding months.

Data Updates

The database behind this calculator is updated at least once a month with official data. Most countries publish updates within the first 2 weeks of each month but in some cases it takes more time. Monthly updates make the most recent months and quarters available as inputs. Updates can also slightly affect the result of annual calculations to the current year, which becomes more accurate although the difference for long time periods is usually insignificant.
