Question 1

What index is used?

Accepted Answer

Eurostat's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP, all items). The conversion multiplies your amount by the ratio of the latest annual index to the index of the year you picked.

Question 2

Why do the years on offer differ by country?

Accepted Answer

The tool only offers years present in the country's published HICP series, so the calculation never extrapolates beyond real data.

Question 3

Does this reflect my personal inflation?

Accepted Answer

No. HICP tracks an average consumption basket. If you spend more on housing or energy than the average household, your personal price change can differ.
