Fixed Basket

An inflation index that never swaps steak for chicken

What is Fixed Basket?

Official inflation lets the basket change — when steak gets expensive, it assumes you buy chicken. This one doesn't. The same 17 categories, priced monthly since 2000 from primary sources, with zero BLS CPI. A 2000 dollar now buys 41¢ of that cart. Build your own basket and see your number.
