Buying power of €1 in 2017

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for €1 in 2017 (price index tracking began in 1996).

For example, if you started with €1, you would need to end with €1.25 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When €1 is equivalent to €1.25 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Euro euro decreases over time. In other words, a euro will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a euro over time. By calculating the value in 2017 dollars, the chart below shows how €1 is worth less over 7 years.

According to the European Central Bank, each of these EUR amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

How to calculate inflation rate for €1 since 2017

Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2017 and today:

CPI today CPI in 2017

€1 in 2017 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as €1.25 in 2024.

To get the total inflation rate for the 7 years between 2017 and 2024, we use the following formula:

CPI in 2024 - CPI in 2017CPI in 2017
