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.
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 is provisional (World Bank CPI with IMF WEO inflation projection) and may be revised.

Cumulative inflation in Philippines (1960-2025)
CPI is an index of average consumer prices. The cumulative change from 1960-2025 gives a clear benchmark for how purchasing power shifted over the full dataset.
- ₱1,000 in 1970 is about ₱85,381 in 2025.
- ₱1,000 in 1980 is about ₱21,749 in 2025.
- ₱5,000 in 1970 is about ₱426,907 in 2025.
Philippines cumulative inflation 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 Philippines?
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 Philippines?
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 Philippines 1970–2025 inflation.
Does the calculator account for exchange rates?
No. Results are in PHP 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.
