Report for: May 2016 — April 2026

This is a period of galloping inflation and deep monetary shock. Average annual loss of buying power at the level of 30.7% makes keeping capital in national currency critically unprofitable. The total price growth of 14.58 times means a cardinal change in the cost of living and a drop in real purchasing power to 7%.

Equivalent Value
What cost 100 TRY in 2016, would cost 1458 TRY today. To maintain the same standard of living, income over 10 years should have grown by 14.58 times.

Calculation Methodology

Calculations are based on HICP Eurostat. It is a consumer price index that measures the average change in prices for goods and services purchased by the population.

Price Multiplier

Price Multiplier shows how many times prices have increased. In macroeconomics, this baseline metric is known as the Price Index Ratio. It is derived directly from official CPI data and serves as the mathematical foundation for all other calculations on this page.

Formula:
Price Multiplier(K)=CPI2026CPI2016\text{Price Multiplier} (K) = \frac{\text{CPI}_{2026}}{\text{CPI}_{2016}}
Calculation:
126.5608.680=14.5806\frac{126.560}{8.680} = 14.5806
Cumulative Inflation

To calculate the cumulative inflation since 2016, we use the following formula:

Formula:
(K−1)×100=Cumulative(%)(K - 1) \times 100 = \text{Cumulative} (\%)
Calculation:
(14.5806−1)×100=1358.1%(14.5806 - 1) \times 100 = 1358.1\%
Average Inflation Rate

Shows the average annual price growth rate including compound interest (where each year's inflation is added to already increased prices). To calculate the average annual inflation for 10 years since 2016, we use the following formula:

Formula:
K1n−1=Average Inflation RateK^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1 = \text{Average Inflation Rate}
n — number of years (10)
Calculation:
(14.58061/10−1)×100=30.7%(14.5806^{1/10} - 1) \times 100 = 30.7\%
Loss of Buying Power

To find out what share of its real value savings in TRY have lost since 2016, we calculate the percentage drop in purchasing power. Loss of buying power is calculated as an inverse proportion to price growth:

Formula:
(1−1K)×100=Loss of Buying Power(%)\left( 1 - \frac{1}{K} \right) \times 100 = \text{Loss of Buying Power} (\%)
Calculation:
(1−114.5806)×100=93.1%\left( 1 - \frac{1}{14.5806} \right) \times 100 = 93.1\%
Equivalent Value

To calculate the equivalent value in terms of purchasing power in 2026, we multiply the initial value from 2016 by the price growth factor:

Formula:
Original Amount×K=Equivalent\text{Original Amount} \times K = \text{Equivalent}
Calculation:
100×14.5806=1,458 TRY100 \times 14.5806 = 1,458 \text{ TRY}
