Israeli Inflation Calculator
Find out how much your money was worth in the past or present based on the Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI).
How the calculator works
The calculator computes the change in purchasing power between two dates based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Enter an amount, a start date and an end date, and the tool will display the inflation-adjusted value instantly.
The data is fetched directly from the CBS API and covers monthly indices from 1951 to today. The index reflects the average change in prices of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical Israeli household each month.
The tool is useful for salary calculations, contract indexation, legal claims, real estate valuation over time, and any case where you need to compare monetary values across different time periods in Israel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Consumer Price Index?+
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change in prices of goods and services consumed by a typical household. The CBS publishes the index monthly, on the 15th of each month.
Where does the data come from?+
The data comes directly from the open API of the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). It is automatically updated every 24 hours.
Why should I use an inflation calculator?+
Comparing amounts of money from different time periods without accounting for inflation is misleading. 1,000 shekels in 1990 were worth much more than 1,000 shekels today. The calculator enables a true comparison of monetary values.
Can I compare two dates in the past?+
Yes. The calculator lets you choose any two dates from 1951 to today, not just past to present. For example, you can check how much 500 shekels from 1985 were worth in 2003.
Why isn't the index available for all months?+
The CBS publishes the index on the 15th of each month for the previous month. If you selected a month that hasn't been published yet, it won't appear in the list.
