How high is your own inflation rate?

If you pay a lot of rent and hardly drive, your basket is not the official one.

The sliders start at the official weights. Pull them to where your money actually goes. The total is always held at 100 percent, because these are shares of one whole.

The calculation uses the same group rates the office uses. Only the shares are yours.

The twelve spending groups are published for Germany and the euro area only. What you see here is the euro area.
