How we calculate
DataIMF price indicesThe country’s overall consumer price index (HICP for the euro area) and its sections: food, housing, cafés and restaurants, alcohol and tobacco.
CurrencyPaid in another currencyIf you’re paid in one currency and live in a country with another, prices are converted at the monthly average exchange rate.
Thresholds−5%, −10%, −20%Counted from the level after your last raise. −10% is the deadline: time to ask. The forecast extends the last 12 months’ price pace.
Your inflationYour basket, not the averageRent from your data, food and café shares from your sliders. That’s why your inflation can differ from the one on the news.
What we don’t do
- We don’t store your numbers on a server. The calculation runs in your browser.
- No sign-up, and we don’t sell data.
- No financial advice. It’s an argument for the talk with your manager, not a market forecast.
