Calculation of the current monthly Consumer Price Index CPI

The Federal Statistical Office only publishes the current monthly inflation rate, but not the preliminary monthly consumer price index CPI. The current monthly consumer price index CPI₂₀₂₆ is calculated from the monthly consumer price index CPI₂₀₂₅ of the year 2025 and the inflation rate I of the current month:

CPI₂₀₂₆ = (I / 100 + 1) * CPI₂₀₂₅.

Calculation of annual Values for Inflation Rate and Consumer Price Index

The annual value for the consumer price index CPI 2026 is calculated from the average of the monthly values resulting from the inflation rates already published. The annual value for the CPI 2025 consumer price index is calculated from the average of the corresponding monthly values. The annual value I for the inflation rate is calculated from the two annual values of the consumer price index CPI₂₀₂₆ and CPI₂₀₂₅:

I = (CPI₂₀₂₆ / CPI₂₀₂₅ - 1) * 100.

According to this calculation, the provisional inflation rate for is 2,1 and the provisional consumer price index CPI is 122,8.
