Personal Inflation & Tariff Impact Calculator

Your basket isn't the CPI basket.

The national inflation rate is a weighted average across a standardized basket of goods that may look nothing like your actual spending — someone spending heavily on electronics and clothing is experiencing meaningfully higher effective inflation in 2026 than someone whose budget is dominated by rent and groceries, given that new trade tariffs are hitting import-heavy categories like electronics and clothing considerably harder than domestically-produced staples. This calculator weights commonly-cited 2026 category-level inflation and tariff-impact rates by your own actual monthly spending in each category, producing a personal rate and real dollar cost specific to your budget.
