Questions people ask
How does the inflation calculator work?
It chains the yearly average consumer price inflation between the two years you pick: each year’s rate raises the amount, so Rs 1,000 of 2023 becomes about Rs 1,166 of 2025 after 12.63% and then 3.55%. The result says what the amount buys on average; rent, fuel or a fee may have moved faster or slower.
Where do the inflation figures come from?
The World Bank’s series for Pakistan (indicator FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG), built from International Monetary Fund and Pakistan Bureau of Statistics data: one average rate per calendar year since 1960. The series ends with the last complete year, and the page says when it was fetched.
Good to know
- Inflation is an average over everything people buy; your rent, your fuel or your university fee may have moved faster or slower.
- The series is by calendar year and ends with the last complete year; the current year is added once it closes.
- Salaries compare the same way: a raise below the year’s inflation is a cut in what the salary buys.
