About CPI

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services. This calculator uses official Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) quarterly CPI data to calculate how the purchasing power of money has changed over time.

Note: Monthly CPI data will be available starting January 28, 2026.
