Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 2015 and 2016:
Then plug in historical CPI values. The Euro CPI was 100 in the year 2015 and 100.245 in 2016:
€1 in 2015 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as €1.00 in 2016.
To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 2015 and 2016, we use the following formula:
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
€1 in 2015 has about the same buying power as €1.00 in 2016, based on the consumer price index published by the European Central Bank. Prices in 2016 are 1.00 times as high as they were in 2015.
The Euro inflation rate in 2015 was 0.03%, measured as the change in the consumer price index from 2014 to 2015. See inflation in 2015 for more detail.
Prices rose by an average of 0.25% per year between 2015 and 2016, a cumulative increase of 0.25%.
Divide the CPI in 2016 (100.245) by the CPI in 2015 (100), then multiply by the original amount: 100.245 ÷ 100 × €1 = €1.00. See the step-by-step formula above.
Raw data for these calculations comes from the European Commission and the European Central Bank's Harmonized Index of Consumer prices (HICP), which is computed based on the reported consumer price indices in member countries of the European Union.
