Personalized Inflation Calculator

Why doesn't the official CPI always reflect your economic reality?

The official Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a general indicator that measures the evolution of prices of an "average shopping basket". However, it is very likely that your consumption habits do not exactly match that average. If you don't own a vehicle, rising fuel prices don't affect you the same way; if you are vegetarian, the price of meat is irrelevant to your wallet. Therefore, calculating your personalized inflation is the only way to know the real impact on your purchasing power.

How to use the real inflation calculator

Our tool allows you to break down your expenses by specific categories to obtain an annual variation percentage adjusted to your life. To get the most accurate data, we recommend having your invoices or bank statements from the last 12 months at hand and comparing the costs in the following areas:

• Housing and Utilities: Variations in rent, variable mortgage, electricity, gas, and water.
• Food and Cleaning: The real cost of your usual supermarket receipt.
• Transportation: Expenses for gasoline, insurance, maintenance, or public transport passes.
• Services and Leisure: Gym fees, streaming subscriptions, telephony, and dining out.

Advantages of knowing your personal inflation rate

Understanding how prices rise specifically for you gives you a competitive advantage in managing your personal finances:

• Accurate Budgets: You will know exactly how much extra money you need to save to maintain your standard of living next year.
• Salary Negotiations: You will be able to argue for a salary review based on real data of purchasing power loss, not just general statistics.
• Money Leak Detection: Identify which spending category has risen disproportionately and look for more economical alternatives.
