Consumer prices; CPI 2025=100, contribution and impact

This table contains figures on the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the prices of goods and services purchased by households in the Netherlands for their own consumption. The table provides information on the contribution and impact of the expenditure categories. The annual rate of change and weighting coefficient are also shown. The annual rate of change of the CPI all items is known as the inflation.

The contribution shows the share of the price change for each individual expenditure category in the annual rate of change of the total CPI. For each classification level, the contributions of the individual categories add up to the total annual rate of change. The impact provides an answer to the question of how much higher or lower the annual rate of change in the total CPI would be if a particular category were excluded.

CPI figures are published every month. After the end of each calendar year, annual figures are also released. The index figure for a given calendar year is calculated as the average of the indices for the twelve months in that year.
