Annual average consumer price indexes: CPI-U (BLS), CPI (ONS), HICP (Eurostat), CPI (Statistics Canada), CPI (ABS). The US figure for 2025 is provisional.

Inflation means that the same amount of money buys less over time. This calculator turns an amount from one year into the money of another year, using the official consumer price index of the country whose currency it is: the US, the UK, the euro area, Canada or Australia. Each country also has its own page with more detail, linked above the calculator.

How it is calculated

  1. Equivalent amount = amount × (price index in the target year ÷ price index in the starting year), using annual averages.
  2. Total price change = that ratio minus one.
  3. Average annual inflation = ratio1/years − 1.

Example

$1,000 in 2000 is worth about $1,873 in 2025 in the US, where prices rose 87.3%. The same 1,000 in 2000 became £1,904 in the UK, €1,693 in the euro area, C$1,721 in Canada and A$1,996 in Australia, because prices rose at different speeds in each country. The table below compares them. For the US in more detail, see the US inflation calculator.

Use the currency, not where you live now

Choose the country whose money the amount was in. A salary paid in pounds in 1995 needs the UK index, even if you now live in Canada. To compare amounts across currencies you also need the exchange rate, which this calculator does not apply.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate inflation between two years?

Divide the price index of the later year by the index of the earlier year, then multiply the amount by the result. A ratio of 1.5 means prices rose 50%. The calculator does this with the official index of each country.

What is $1,000 in 2000 worth today?

About $1,873 in 2025 US dollars, by the CPI-U. In the other currencies here, 1,000 from 2000 is about £1,904, €1,693, C$1,721 or A$1,996 in 2025.

Why does inflation differ between countries?

Each country has its own prices, wages, currency, taxes and central bank policy. From 2000 to 2025, prices rose about 99.6% in Australia but 69.3% in the euro area.
