This is a guide figure, not financial advice. The exact amount comes from your bank or the relevant authority.
Find out what the same basket of shopping would cost in a different month in Serbia. The calculator uses the monthly consumer price indices published by the Statistical Office (RZS) from January 2025 to October 2026. It shows the price change and what money that hasn't grown can still buy. The result is approximate, and there's no forecast.
How it works
Each month has an index with the previous month as 100, so a rise of 0.8% means an index of 100.8. The amount is multiplied by all the indices between the two months you pick. The starting month itself isn't counted again, and going backwards uses the inverse.
RZS (Republički zavod za statistiku) publishes monthly changes rounded to one decimal place. Chaining them gives an approximate figure that can drift a little from the official index between two months far apart. The harmonised index (HICP) isn't used here.
Worked example
Between September and October 2026 the index was 100.8. A basket costing RSD 100,000 in September would therefore cost RSD 100,800 in October.
Look at it the other way round. If your RSD 100,000 stays the same, it's worth about RSD 99,206.35 at September prices.
Questions people ask
Is this the inflation rate for the whole of 2026?
No. The latest month in this version is October 2026. November and December haven't been filled in with guesses.
Why not just add up the monthly percentages?
Each change applies to the price level of the month before. Two rises of 1% add up to 2.01%, not exactly 2%.
Will this tell me how much my rent should go up?
No. The consumer price index (IPC) tracks an average basket. Rent, food or transport can move quite differently from the overall index, and your lease may name its own index.
Can I use the result to index a contract?
Treat it as a guide. For a contract, use exactly the official index, base and period the contract names, not an approximate chain of rounded monthly changes.
