@Pppery: would you mind reverting your recent Pakistan edit? Something went horribly wrong and I think that might be the culprit. Zoozaz1talk15:34, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
This is why every change, no matter how small, must be sandboxed and testcased. Otherwise, the risk to a large number of pages is simply too great: this template is protected for a good reason. We must not carry out any direct edit to the live template based upon code blobs in a talk page, even if the user placing the request claims to have tested them. Code blobs do not adequately convey context: they should be discouraged, if not rejected outright. I have denied a number of edit requests at Template talk:Rail-interchange simply because there was a complete lack of sandbox and testcases. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Please update the date for US-GDP (US-CAP). I'm unsure where the current date comes from, the data was updated 1 January 2021. - Einstein95 (talk) 01:56, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, it seems I've stumbled into a whole world of arcane yet extremely nifty templates around currencies and inflation indexes, when I'd like to say something like "Doris donated NZ $10,000 to the project in 1976 (NZ $170,000 in today's money)." What would be involved in adding the New Zealand CPI to the {{inflation}} ecosystem? I have updated the {{Inflation/NZ/dataset}} with data to 2021, and fixed its broken syntax as far as I can tell. It seems I would need to provide a reference for the data in {{Inflation/fn}} and the default year here, but I am not mojo enough to edit these. Is there anything else I need to do to make this all happen? Any help appreciated. — Jon (talk) 00:43, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Jonathanischoice, It is a very cool set of templates. I added the NZ data (along with a bunch of others) a while back but didn't end up fully implementing it. I've made the necessary edit requests on Template talk:Inflation/fn and here. If you want to add more (there might have been one or two more that I added the data for but haven't implemented) you can copy those edits and change the two-letter country code and reference. Zoozaz1 (talk) 01:37, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
In Template:Inflation/PL/dataset, I have updated the values to 2021 using World Bank dataset (the page is not template-protected) but I can't submit this here because I don't have the necessary template-editing permission, same for Inflation/year. Please change the appropriate values (2007 -> 2021) and add the World Bank source. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 07:24, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Btw something should be done with it. The cited dataset that says has data in 1800-2000 only has the relevant data from 1950. More sources should be found for pre-1950 data, in particular since AFAIK Poland endured quite high inflation in the late 1940s and particularly so in early 1920s, but this isn't really visible in it (i.e. the denominations in 1922 (actually 1923) and 1948 are taken into account while that in 1995 is not. Something is really off here. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 07:36, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Szmenderowiecki, The dataset is entitled "Inflation 1800-2000," but does not have data that encompasses all of that for all the countries. Whether changes in value are taken into account is based on whether the source includes those changes or not. Zoozaz1 (talk) 19:23, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey, is it possible to split the refs, e.g. the ref for US is long and in many cases would only need the last one. Inserting the ref without this template into an article would lose the access-date updates. Thinking create US-1634, US-1700, and US-1800 so the current usage is unaffected but has option of replacing with shorter reference. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 13:01, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
@Zoozaz1 Fixed. There was an extra line break in the UK file before the #default line, so I updated the module to correctly handle such cases. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 19:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Mxbndr, The short answer is no (see the above discussions on this page), but there is a way to get around that. You can use either a math template or an automatic currency converter template (I'm not sure if that exists, but it likely does) in addition to the inflation template for the currency conversion. See the currency conversion section of the usage notes for the template for how to do that. As a side note, this site, the one used on the inflation template for Spain, gives a value that could be cited. Zoozaz1 (talk) 04:15, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

The US Inflation template data needs to be updated to 2022. This requires editing 3 pages, I have shown the changes below. The source showing the 2022 data which I used below can be found here. Note that Template:Inflation-fn now redirects to Template:Inflation/fn (shown in my change below), and Template:Inflation-year now redirects to Template:Inflation/year (shown in my change below).
| 2021 |#default = 814.3 <!-- *** When changing this, also update the reference in [[Template:Inflation-fn]] and the latest year in [[Template:Inflation-year]]! *** -->
to:

| 2022 |#default = 879.4 <!-- *** When changing this, also update the reference in [[Template:Inflation/fn]] and the latest year in [[Template:Inflation/year]]! *** -->
2. Template:Inflation/fn requires the current date be updated for www.minneapolisfed.org in two places for |access-date on the line that starts with | US = .
Country index should automatically select the appropriate default currency symbol
It would be helpful if the country index would automatically select the appropriate default currency symbol when using |fmt=eq instead of always defaulting to the US '$'.
I realize this could be a big change, to the documentation as well,
but it makes no sense to always default to '$'. Perhaps this improvement could be made with adding only some currency symbols,
and other symbols added incrementally.
This suggestion was also made in 2020 here but there was no response.
I came across this mistake of using {{Inflation|UK|1000|1963|fmt=eq}} here:
£1,000 (equivalent to $26,449 in 2023)
When they intended the currency symbol to be '£', which currently requires {{Inflation|UK|1000|1963|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}:
£1,000 (equivalent to £26,449 in 2023)
This also affects the parameter |orig=yes where {{Inflation|UK|1000|1963|fmt=eq|orig=yes}} generates:
$1000 (equivalent to $26,449 in 2023)
Where the currency symbol should be '£'.
Currently the parameter |cursign= is required for any use of |fmt=eq when the index is not US,
but I don't think this is sufficiently prominent in the documentation. This requirement is also prone to mistakes. CuriousEric16:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Update year range for India data source
Change:
In the |IN section, please change the year range at the end from 1954 to 2020 to 1954 to 2023. Please update the accessdate parameter in the citation template for the Inflation.eu source to July 8 2023.
Removing fmt=eq seems to do "too much", suggestions?
I was touching up Brilliant Pebbles by adding some inflations. I normally use the fmt=eq because that fleshes out the text and saves me typing while also making editing easier for future users. But then I got to this bit:
The $40 billion (equivalent to $107,000,000,000 in 2022) budget estimate was dismissed as "pure fantasy". Over the next year the budget continued to grow, apparently without bound, first to $60 billion (equivalent to $160,000,000,000 in 2022), to $75 billion (equivalent to $155,000,000,000 in 2022), and then reaching $100 billion by April 1988 (equivalent to $148,000,000,000 in 2022).
There's two issues here:
1) I would like it to say "$107 billion", not "$107,000,000,000". That way it matches the original source of 60 billion (shades of the discussion immediately above this post!)
2) after the first example, there's no need to keep repeating the year. So I simply removed fmt=eq. Then the format changes completely, becoming 155000000000. That is not what I want, these should all have the same general format. So then I used fmt=c, but that fails to add the dollar sign and the format is once again different.
There's a lot of (presumably unintended) misuse of this template leading to false precision. Here's an example from Walter O'Malley before I fixed it: "(...) demanded $1 million ($12,663,900 today)." The implied precision of the inflation-adjusted number is clearly absurd. A few years ago I suggested to adopt a more conservative default r for this template, which didn't find support. So how about, instead, we build in a check based on how many trailing zeros are in the value? If the value is 1000000 while r=0, the template should produce a flag, similar to when one enters anything with letters for year in any of the CS1 templates. --bender235 (talk) 15:50, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Definitely there are a lot of those. As well as I know it, {{convert}} adjust based on the precision of the input value. It would seem that this one also could do that. Note that there is no requirement that WP give the full precision from the source, if it isn't needed. Gah4 (talk) 19:34, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
This bothers me all the time as well, as I normally forget to do it and then have to go back and fix it later. Is there no way to automate this? If the input value has six zeros, is r=-6 not a good default? Is the template engine not capable of this? Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I'm just wondering how this template handles the fact that Australia switched from pounds, shillings and pence to decimal dollars in February 1966? I can't figure out the code, but from playing with it, for a sum before 1966 the template seems to apply a CPI deflator to a pound amount and then give you a pound amount result, even if the desired year is after the introduction of the dollar. Is that right? Pyrope12:19, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I did look through as much of the documentation as I could find and this topic doesn't seem to be explicitly addressed. Pyrope14:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Please add the "current" year of the inflated prices 2022, associated with {{Inflation/VN/dataset}}, in {{Inflation/year}} for the new index VN, specifically:
Pppery, I am doing some work on 19th century French prices and I get some really weird output. This concerns France and probably other countries and as far as I understand it is about some very old conversions. I am asking you because I want to include inflation templates to article about Le Touquet, currently being developed in my sandbox. I need to include modern-day values of 19th-century land.
I get "equivalent to $165,051,564 in 2022" (equivalent to $154,346,949 in 2020) but as we know, France does not use dollars, so this is already off.
Secondly, this sum is totally ridiculous because it would suggest that prices were that high, but were they? So for example, I have a source say that there was some land that was at that time moderately attractive (just a forest) but was considered for building a seaside resort. About 1880, a buyer approached to develop the land by buying it at 35,000 francs per 1 ha (2.5 acres). According to the template, this is equivalent to $81,236,024 in 2022, which is an astronomical sum - I mean, in the US you could easily buy 100 built homes in the suburbs with land more than 1 hectare, and at that time it was just a forest.
To compare with how much it should have cost, we should remember that France was part of the Latin Monetary Union and so tied its currency to values of silver and gold. In 1878, according to the article, 100 francs were worth exactly 32.25806 g of .900 gold, which is 29.032254 g (0.9334086 ozt) of pure gold. 35,000 francs is then 10,161.2889 g (326.69302 ozt). I looked up today the price of gold and it's $1973 per troy ounce, so let's say for simplicity it's $2000 per troy ounce. 326.69302 ozt * $2000/ozt = $653386.04. The inflation template figure is off by two orders of magnitude. Which is a lot.
Similarly, I have an investor who bought 1,120 ha (2,800 acres) of functionally the same land (forest, near the sea) in 1902 for 870,500 francs, which the template says is equivalent to $2,579,339,291 in 2022. $2.4 billion dollars for that land sounds a bit like Trump arguing that Mar-a-Lagois worth $1 billion on the theory that people would shell out $950 million more just because he's Trump.
Szmenderowiecki, the template tracks only changes in the price index; it is currency agnostic. My suspicion is that this is the cause of your issue. The output is not in dollars; it is just a measurement of changes in price indices in France from the inputted date to 2020, discounting changes in currency or currency redenomination (as far as I am aware). In other words, it measures long-term inflation and discounts changes in a currency's value (or the currency itself) imposed from above (this is not necessarily true for all countries in the inflation template, I do think some adjust for this). To give the most obvious example, the exchange rate in the 1999 switching from the franc to the euro is 6.5 francs for 1 euro; the price index does not factor that in. The 1960 devaluation was 100 old francs to 1 new franc. Factoring that in, the total becomes 116,872.871 euros today for the 1880 land purchase. There may be other currency changes/devaluations over the time period I am not aware of that should be considered. This is discussed in the currency conversion section of the documentation. Ideally this would be integrated into all the templates.
Another aspect to be aware of it is that, generally, the templates track the CPI, price indices of consumer goods. This is not to say it is useless when it comes to land, but that is another factor that will distort the accuracy/decrease the "correctness" of the result.
Not sure why it displays in dollars though, perhaps remove the "fmt=eq" and type it manually with the correct currency instead. Zoozaz1 (talk) 01:36, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Zoozaz1 Well I think the denomination and conversion to euros should be in fact made here because France no longer uses the franc, and so your dataset should be really limited to 1999 or 2002, depending on the date you consider that France has adopted the euro. You mention that your data from 1904 is from INSEE's dataset (actually there's an updated one), but I also used this converter to see the values. There, 870500 francs in 1902 are worth €3,716,124.11 in purchasing power, which makes a lot more sense.
I think that in this case, you should update the doc of this template to mention that the values presented here do not account for denominations or for mandatory conversions to other currencies, so maybe using fmt in general is kinda misleading for these cases and the template should warn against such inferences. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 10:16, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Szmenderowiecki, The doc does mention this in the currency conversion section. The datatset has the same information as the INSEE; that is why your number of 2,412,053,184/6.5 = 371085105, and 371085105/100=3710851.05, which is effectively the same as in the converter. Zoozaz1 (talk) 10:54, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
So I resolved this issue with code of type:
{{circa}} €{{#expr:({{Inflation|FR|35000|1880|r=2}} / (100*{{FixedEuroRate|FRF}})) round -3}} in {{Inflation/year|FR}}
, which gives c. €124000 in 2022 (for a 35,000 franc purchase in 1880), but then it is impossible to introduce fmt=c into the inflation template expression because the software that processes this expression starts swearing about unexpected commas in the output.

The documentation for this template says inflation is not accurate to better than 1% or so. The output ought to be automatically rounded off to 2 or 3 significant figures if the r= parameter is not provided.
Note there is no value of r= that means "2 significant figures". You have to look at the inflated output and calculate the right r= value. {{Convert}} has more useful controls. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 19:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
GDP deflator for other countries
So what do we do for capital expenses that aren't US/UK? Just can't use the template? It seems like converting cost from back then -> USD -> inflate with US-GDP -> convert back to target currency is going to introduce a lot of inaccuracy. Or does the ballpark figure nature of all these estimates mean the inaccuracy is acceptable as long as you round to thousands/millions/etc.? 47.155.41.201 (talk) 22:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
Seems to me (WP:OR is allowed in talk, though I didn't actually do any R) that for some things prices are global. When we hear about the price of oil, that is on the world market, and so such conversions should work. Then there is the Big Mac Index for comparing different countries. But many items are not globally traded, or have other reasons not to keep price parity. Gah4 (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
RoySmith, I think I've got a similar issue—I want my inflation equivalency to be in a note (|group=note}}) rather than a ref. Have you already achieved that or have I misunderstood the issue you raise here? Happy noo year! ——Serial20:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Can this be avoided, such that it returns the input value as if inflation was 0 (or another reasonable value)?
edit:
This is a problem in this page (in the section for Hulu). It would be easier for editors if it just showed the real value until the data is eventually added (or if it got edited autmatically).
Returning an error seems like the right approach. Returning a value makes it seem like the input, and therefore the output, is valid when it is not. Mathglot (talk) 04:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
Showing an error message to our readers may be ugly, but showing them erroneous information and pretending it's real is far worse. RoySmith(talk)15:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
This looks like an functional error in the template to me. To take an example:
{{Inflation|US|8,610,000,000|2021|fmt=c|r=-6}} results in 9,681,000,000
{{Inflation|US|8,610,000,000|2022|fmt=c|r=-6}} results in 8,964,000,000
{{Inflation|US|8,610,000,000|2023|fmt=c|r=-6}} results in 8,610,000,000
{{Inflation|US|8,610,000,000|2024|fmt=c|r=-6}} results in Error when using {{Inflation}}: |start_year=2024 (parameter 3) is greater than the latest available year (2023) in index "US".
The template should not be producing an error for 2023, and editors shouldn't be expected to work around this. The 2021 and 2022 indeces work, but only inflate to 2022. The 2024 index is the only that would read as correct to the reader, signifying that there has been no inflation between 2024 and 2024. There is no reason to make 2023 return an error value, because the problem will be fixed once the inflation figures are released for 2023. The problem only occurs because there is a bit of a lag in the data. What you are going to get is editors introducing hacks by adding unadjusted figures to lists and tables to avoid getting an error message, meaning that the numbers won't update through the years.

Description of suggested change: In the diff, I updated Finnish inflation data to 2023. I request changes to {{Template:Inflation/year|FI}} to update the year to 2023, and change the source for the data to this datasheet from Statistics Finland
Asking for updates in multiple places (especially with something as complicated as this) is always going to cause issues, no matter how strong the hidden comment warning. Could we design it so that e.g. {{Inflation/year}} automatically reads the other templates and derives the most recent year from them? Sdkbtalk15:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Aw, shoot. Sorry for messing this up. While I erroneously missed editing Inflation/year, the edit request was to Inflation/US/dataset. Does Inflation/US-GDP/dataset need to be updated as well? SWinxy (talk) 17:52, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
OK, getting myself up to speed. The source for {{Inflation/US/dataset}} is the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and right, that's what you got in the previous edit request.
On that page, you use the form in the grey box on the upper right of the page. Check the box for "US GDP Deflator", enter initial year 1790, ending year 2023, then click Retrieve, and...
Voila, we have a number for the year 2023, 122.27 – so, yes, we can update that from 2022 → 2023 now. Apparently that was done months late, last year, since it wasn't done until the end of November. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:20, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Added new values from 1991 to 2023 provided by Rosstat. This obviates the need for the source that is only for 1991-1992 and updates Russia's inflation rates to 2023. Changes are requested to /year template from 2007 to 2023 and to /fn part to reflect changed sources.
Szmenderowiecki, entirely up to you if you want to do this, but since you're updating Russian inflation statistics and are a Russian speaker, if you have the time it would be quite helpful if you could add the data in this document, which I can't read, to the template if it provides anything useful (it also seems more reliable than the current National Economy of Russia source). Zoozaz1 (talk) 00:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Zoozaz1Here I found a downloadable and better searchable version of this paper, but even though the scope of work is admirable, each of the components is assessed separately (so prices on grains, clothing, metals, salt etc.). There is no one CPI measure in this work, and calculating it ourselves will definitely be verboten.
Also, this work only covers the XVI century. There's a lot of economic literature listed here that may be useful for the XVII century but I will have to read it when I have time. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 17:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
I see, that's unfortunate. When you get around to looking through the books listed there, let me know if you can't find a copy, I should be able to find it. Zoozaz1 (talk) 00:03, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Added new values from 2022 to 2023 provided by Eurostat; also, I changed the source to Eurostat instead of the Federal Reserve citing Eurostat. Changes are requested to /year template from 2021 to 2023 and to /fn part to reflect changed sources.
This alteration may have resulted in an error as it appears that all usages of the template involving UK are resulting in errors (for example, Elizabeth II).Sxg169 (talk) 13:19, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
There are three inflation templates on the above page, and today they have all suddenly reported an error, thus:
(equivalent to £Error when using Error when using {{Inflation}}: |index= (parameter 1), |value= (parameter 2) and |start_year= (parameter 3) must be specified.: NaN/calculation error, please notify Template talk:Inflation. in 2023).

Suggestion: Use a more up-to-date inflation metric
The United States has two common inflation metrics: the CPI and the PCEPI (Personal Consumption Expenditure PI). The CPI and its variants are designed for cost-of-living adjustments to wages in negotiated contracts. As a result, the CPI excludes many common goods (such as health insurance) provided as fringe benefits rather than being paid for out-of-pocket. The PCEPI gives a more complete picture by including all consumption goods and services. The CPI is also methodologically awkward in that it uses a right-chained basket (right-hand sum) to approximate inflation, which is strictly less accurate than the PCEPI's use of the trapezoid rule. (The bad approximation has stuck with us for what are essentially political reasons.)
The PCEPI is the metric recommended by the Federal Reserve, and the metric it pays attention to when it decides monetary policy; as a result, I suggest replacing CPI with PCEPI in this template. Does this sound reasonable? –Sincerely, A Lime18:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
A Lime, yes, though I would perhaps suggest adding another template rather than replacing the current one, for two reasons. Firstly, I assume CPI data goes back further and might be necessary for obtaining data from certain years, secondly there may be cases where one methodology is more appropriate than the other. Zoozaz1 (talk) 21:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
I know the PCEPI has been reconstructed going back to at least 1929, which is roughly the same point as where CPI figures become reliable enough to be usable. –Sincerely, A Lime21:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Stock prices
I've seen a few cases where inflation was used to describe historical stock prices; for example, a company had an initial public offering at $13.72 per share in July 2007, or about $19.00 in 2023. Because this template uses the consumer price index, and shares of stock are not consumer goods, I typically remove these adjustments. Is this generally good practice? If so, could you please add stock prices as an example of situations in which not to use this template? White 720 (talk) 15:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
I think removing these adjustments is incorrect. The adjustment is meant to show how much of a person's purchasing power it would cost to purchase one share of stock at a given time. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
I agree with Jonesey, with a caveat, but it depends on the context. Inflation adjustment in the example you give serves no purpose, so removing the adjustment is not really a problem in this case; however, if the current share price had also been given, then the inflation adjustment would have given the reader a comparative measure of how well the stock has performed. Inflation adjustment for the sake of just having a modern value is not useful unless it forms the basis of a comparison. Betty Logan (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Millions > Billions
My question is similar to the one above, but on a much larger scale (I'm converting Rockefeller money). What I currently have is: $475 million (equivalent to ${{inflation|US|475|1922|r=-2|fmt=c}} million in {{inflation/year|US}}) which results in $475 million (equivalent to $8,600 million in 2023). What I would prefer, however, would be $475 million (equivalent to $8.6 billion in 2023). Is there any way to turn that 8,600 into 8.6, or is that not possible with the template? Thanks either way, DrOrinScrivello (talk) 18:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
@DrOrinScrivello: $475 million (equivalent to ${{formatprice|{{inflation|US|475000000|1922}}}} in {{inflation/year|US}}) gives you: $475 million (equivalent to $8.65 billion in 2023). I'd note that you probably should be using US-GDP instead though, which is based on GDP deflator indices instead of the CPI. Imzadi 1979→04:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Oh, you mean I should have read the bold text at the very top of the template documentation? Novel idea, that.
