Mexico inflation calculator

Calculate cumulative inflation in Mexico using CPI data from 2000–2025. This MXN inflation rate calculator compares any two years in Mexico to estimate the CPI inflation rate, equivalent amount, and inflation shortfall. No exchange rates.

Coverage starts in 2000 and runs through 2025.

What you get
  • Inflation rate based on CPI
  • Equivalent amount in MXN
  • Inflation shortfall in MXN
Quick example

MX$1,000 in 2000 is about MX$3,027 in 2025 (CPI inflation 202.7%).

Buying power

Inflation loss calculator for Mexico

See how inflation changes purchasing power over time. Compare two years using CPI ratios to estimate the inflation-adjusted equivalent amount, the inflation shortfall, and the cumulative inflation factor.

Inputs
Choose a country, amount, and two years. Results stay in the same currency (no exchange rates).
Nominal amount in MXN. Example: MX$1,000.00
Earlier year (when you had the money).
Later year (comparison purchasing power).

CPI values vary by source and methodology. This site uses locally stored CPI series and the formula in docs/DATA_MODEL.md. CPI value for 2025 are provisional (World Bank CPI with IMF WEO inflation projection) and may be revised.

Cumulative inflation in Mexico (2000-2025)

CPI is an index of average consumer prices. The cumulative change from 2000-2025 gives a clear benchmark for how purchasing power shifted over the full dataset.

Mexico inflation rate calculator (CPI)

The inflation shortfall is not a fee you paid—it’s an estimate of how much more you’d need in the end year to match the start-year purchasing power (same currency). If the CPI index rises, prices are higher on average, so the same nominal amount buys less.

For long periods, even small annual inflation rates compound. That’s why the inflation factor can look large over decades. Use the calculator to compare different ranges and see how the results change.

FAQ

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

How is inflation loss calculated for Mexico?

We use CPI ratios for the selected years to estimate an inflation-adjusted equivalent amount: equivalentEnd = amount × (CPI_end / CPI_start).

What years can I select?

You can select from years that exist in the country CPI dataset stored under /data/cpi. The dropdowns in the calculator only include valid years.

What is the inflation rate for Mexico?

Inflation rate depends on the years you select. We compute the total CPI change between the start and end year: (CPI_end / CPI_start − 1) × 100. See Mexico 20002025 inflation.

Does the calculator account for exchange rates?

No. Results are in MXN and adjust only for domestic price level changes (inflation), not currency conversion.

Why does the CPI index matter?

CPI is an index of consumer prices. Using the CPI ratio between two years approximates how overall consumer prices changed across that period.
