€100 in 2015 is worth €135 today (Eurozone HICP)
€135
Updated April 1, 2026 · Eurostat / FRED
€100 in 2015 is worth €134.95 in today's euros, adjusted by euro-area consumer-price inflation (Eurozone HICP), which rose 35% since then. Eurostat / FRED data through April 1, 2026.
€100 in 2015 was a small, ordinary sum across the euro area, the kind of spending that barely registers as a planned expense. That year HICP inflation fell to about zero and briefly turned negative, prompting the ECB under Mario Draghi to launch quantitative easing against the threat of deflation. Even from so flat a starting point, matching that €100 of purchasing power today takes somewhat more euro, by inflation alone and nothing earned.
The euro began as an accounting currency in 1999 and as cash in 2002; HICP figures before then are back-computed. These are euro-area aggregate consumer-price figures, not one country, and not exchange rates or investment returns.
