Basis for the calculation

The calculation is based on the Cost-of-living Index 1914:1-6=100, and it takes into account both the 1963 monetary reform and the introduction of the euro in 2002.

The 1963 monetary reform adopted the so-called new Finnish markka, the value of which was 100 old markka, that is, the two zeros at the end were cut in the reform. In 2002, in connection with the changeover to the euro, the Finnish markka was converted to euros with the standard coefficient 5.94573.

The annual change percentage calculated from the overall point figures of the Cost-of-living Index 1914:1-6=100 may differ from the official percentage change figure, because it is calculated from the point figures truncated to two decimal places of each base year in question.
