Cost of Living Calculator
Enter what you spend each month. We estimate the effect of the latest fuel price, cedi rate and inflation figures StatsGH has stored. Every figure is sourced; if one is missing we say so.

How this calculator works
- Fuel: your litres × the latest pump price quoted in a published StatsGH article. With a baseline month, we use the last price stored on or before the end of that month.
- Food and transport: inflation rates are year-on-year, so we divide your spend by (1 + rate) to estimate the year-ago cost. Food uses the food CPI rate; transport uses headline CPI because no transport index is stored.
- The cedi line is shown for context and is not added to your totals, to avoid double-counting with inflation.
- These are estimates for an average household, not a forecast. Your own prices may differ. Nothing is made up: a missing figure is shown as unavailable.
