What is your money from back then worth now?
Enter an amount and a year and see what rising prices have done to your money since. Nothing is sent to us: everything is calculated in your browser.
Worked example using the Dutch consumer price index from CBS (Statistics Netherlands): annual averages from 1960 and the index for October 2026, the latest monthly figure. Not financial advice.
How it is calculated
Every month, CBS measures the cost of a fixed basket of groceries, housing, energy and services. That is the consumer price index (CPI). The calculator divides the index for the latest month by the annual average of the year you choose. That ratio is the price increase over the whole period.
How high has inflation been in recent years?
Annual average rise in Dutch consumer prices according to CBS: 2.7% in 2021, 10.0% in 2022, 3.8% in 2023, 3.3% in 2024 and 3.3% in 2025. In October 2026, prices were 3.7% higher than a year earlier.
What does this mean for savings?
Money that stands still buys a little less each year when prices rise. If your savings rate is lower than inflation, the amount in your account grows but your purchasing power does not. What you do about that is up to you; this calculator only shows how large the effect has been.
