How much is €100 from 2005 today?

How it works

When a country adopted the euro, its old currency got a fixed rate that never changes: €1 = 5.94573 Finnish markka, 1.95583 Deutsche Mark, 6.55957 French francs or 1,936.27 Italian lire (European Central Bank). This only swaps one unit for another. It does not tell what the money was worth, because prices have risen a lot since.

In today's money accounts for that rise, for the markka only. Like Statistics Finland's value of money converter, it uses the cost-of-living index I (CC BY 4.0): today's euros = amount × I(latest full year) ÷ I(year) ÷ 5.94573, and a further ÷ 100 before 1963, when 100 old marks became one new mark. The index follows an average household's spending, so single things such as homes or electronics moved differently, and figures before 1921 are unofficial estimates.
