About this calendar

Dates are published by the respective institutions and may change. We do not infer missing times. A countdown reaching zero does not prove new data has been published. For policy rates, this is the decision announcement; the new rate may take effect later. Czech unemployment follows Eurostat’s calendar for the harmonised series used here. No market consensus or forecasts are included.

Equivalent amount · October 20261,346.41 CZK

Price-level change: +34.64 %

Amount needed for the same average consumer basket in the target month.

We multiply the amount by the ratio of the target and starting price indices. Both use the same CZSO basis (2025 = 100); annual percentages are not added. Published indices are rounded, so the result is an estimate. Personal spending can differ from the average basket.

What Czech inflation measures

The consumer price index (CPI) tracks changes in the price of an average household consumption basket. Goods and services carry different weights. It is neither a simple average of every price nor one household’s exact budget. Results can differ with spending on housing, food, transport and other items.

Year-on-year change compares a month with the same month a year earlier. Month-on-month change uses the immediately preceding month. They cover different periods: zero in one measure does not rule out growth in the other.

Falling inflation and falling prices

If annual inflation falls from 5% to 3%, prices are still higher than a year earlier, but their growth is slower. The rate difference is −2 percentage points. A declining price level requires a negative percentage change against the chosen reference.

The price-level series uses the 2025 average as 100. An index of 110 means the basket costs ten percent more than in that base period. It does not measure investment returns or wage growth. Unlike an exchange price, CPI is a monthly statistic published after the reference month.

How purchasing power is calculated

The calculator multiplies the original amount by the ratio of the target and starting price indices. For example, 120 / 100 converts CZK 1,000 to CZK 1,200. This corresponds to the same average consumer basket rather than predicting every individual product’s price.

Both months use one consistent index series. We neither add annual inflation rates nor fill missing periods. The most recent available period is the latest published month. The next release comes from the official calendar; a passed deadline alone does not confirm that new data have been published.
