Buying power of ₽100 in 2016

This chart shows a calculation of buying power equivalence for ₽100 in 2016 (price index tracking began in 1992).

For example, if you started with ₽100, you would need to end with ₽196.02 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").

When ₽100 is equivalent to ₽196.02 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single Russian ruble decreases over time. In other words, a ruble will pay for fewer items at the store.

This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a ruble over time. By calculating the value in 2016 dollars, the chart below shows how ₽100 is worth less over 8 years.

According to the OECD and the World Bank, each of these RUB amounts below is equal in terms of what it could buy at the time:

This conversion table shows various other 2016 amounts in today's rubles, based on the 96.02% change in prices:
