Inflation in Taiwan
Consumer prices in Taiwan have risen 110.5% since January 1981, the start of the official series. That means NT$100 then buys what NT$210.54 buys in May 2026, so the same basket of goods now costs 2.1 times what it did. Over the most recent year on record, May 2025 to May 2026, prices rose 2.3%.

How inflation in Taiwan is measured
The figures above come from Taiwan's DGBAS (total CPI, monthly). The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from January 1981 to May 2026, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
