Worked example for Moscow

Enter RUB 50,000 as today's cost, 6.36% as the inflation rate and 10 years. If prices in Moscow kept rising at that pace, the same basket would cost RUB 92,630 in 2036, and RUB 50,000 left in cash would buy only what RUB 26,989 buys now. The figure of RUB 50,000 is just an example amount in Russian ruble; type your own rent, school fee or grocery bill instead.

The average of the ten calendar-year rates from 2016 to 2025 for Russia works out at 6.5%. Try that figure as well as the latest 6.36% reading: the gap between the two shows how sensitive a long-range plan in Moscow is to which rate you pick. For a 20-year horizon the difference between 6.5% and 6.36% changes the future cost of RUB 50,000 from RUB 175,856 to RUB 171,608.
