Move the slider to see how prices change over time.
A steady rate is a simplification — real inflation moves around. This is a feel for direction, not a forecast.
Two honest calculators & the gold ounce
Built from the real price history of the selected country — all amounts are in that country's own currency, so then and now are directly comparable.

The savings meter
Uninvested cash quietly buys a little less each year. That's not a reason to panic — it's a reason to plan.
The gold ounce
Loading gold prices and exchange rates…
Approximate annual averages: LBMA gold price in USD × official exchange rate (World Bank, PA.NUS.FCRF), shown in the local currency of the time. Currency reforms and redenominations can distort very long comparisons.
Designed to keep you calm
Inflation news is built to alarm you. This page is built to inform you, gently — one honest number per country, and what it actually means.
The meter breathes at the pace of a slow, calm breath — about six per minute, the rhythm used in breathing exercises. Sit with it for a moment if you like.
No red alerts, no flashing tickers. Heat is shown as warmth, not danger. High inflation deserves attention, not panic.
Every number comes with a plain sentence. You should never need an economics degree to know what prices are doing in your country.
Common questions
What is the current inflation rate in my country?
Inflameter shows the most recent figure for 190+ countries — the yearly change in consumer prices from World Bank and IMF data, and for European countries the latest monthly figure from Eurostat. Your country is detected automatically from your browser.
Where does the data come from?
Annual inflation comes from World Bank Open Data (CC BY 4.0, sourced from IMF International Financial Statistics) and the IMF World Economic Outlook, which also provides forecasts. Monthly figures for Europe come from Eurostat (HICP). We present the data unchanged.
How far back does the history go?
The world map's timeline covers every year since 1960 for most countries, and reaches a few years into the future using IMF forecasts.
