FAQ

Answers to common questions about CPI-based inflation loss estimates.

How much inflation occurred in Canada from 2000 to 2025?

The calculator uses the CPI ratio between the two years to estimate the cumulative change in prices over the period.

What does “equivalent amount” mean on this page?

Equivalent amount estimates what your start-year amount would be in end-year prices (same currency), using CPI ratios.

Is the result guaranteed to match my personal spending?

No. CPI measures average consumer price changes. Individual experiences vary depending on spending patterns and local prices.
