Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises over time, reducing the purchasing power of money.

What is the current inflation rate in Finland?

Finnish inflation is measured by Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Rates change monthly; check Statistics Finland's website for current data.

How does inflation affect my savings?

If your savings account interest rate is lower than the inflation rate, your money loses real purchasing power over time. To beat inflation, you need investments that return more than the inflation rate.

Note: The calculator uses a fixed annual inflation rate for the entire period. Finland's actual inflation has varied: in the early 2020s it rose above 8%, with a historical average of about 2–3%. Statistics Finland publishes official consumer price indices.

This inflation calculator shows how the purchasing power of money changes between different years. It suits anyone who wants to understand what an old sum is worth in today's money or how prices have risen over time.

How the calculator works and what it’s for▾

How inflation affects money

Inflation means a general rise in prices, so the same money buys less than before. The calculator converts a sum from one year to another based on the change in the price level, showing you the difference in purchasing power.

A sum from decades ago, for instance, often corresponds to a clearly larger amount today, because prices have risen in the meantime.

What you enter and what you get

Enter an amount, a starting year and a comparison year. The calculator works out what the sum corresponds to in the other year to keep the same purchasing power.

This lets you compare old salaries, prices or savings with today's money in a way that is easy to grasp.

When to use it

Use it when you want to relate historical sums to today's money, judge whether a pay rise keeps up or understand how inflation erodes the real value of savings over time.

Good to know

The calculator is based on the general change in the price level, and the price of a single product may not follow the same path. Treat the result as a guiding estimate of the change in purchasing power.
