Canadian CPI Release Schedule 2025-2026

Looking for the latest CPI release dates? The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures changes in the cost of living across Canada. These monthly releases are used by businesses, governments, and individuals to monitor inflation and adjust wages, benefits, and prices accordingly. Below you’ll find the official release schedule for 2024–2025, along with the reference months covered.

Below are the dates for the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases. Each month, Statistics Canada releases CPI data for the previous month. The data covered is disaggregated at the provincial level and by the weighted components of the CPI-U.

Our inflation calculator tool will be automatically updated on each release date, to ensure you always get accurate results when measuring inflation.

The CPI tracks the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services, including:

  • Food and non-alcoholic beverages
  • Housing (rent, utilities, etc.)
  • Transportation (gas, public transit)
  • Health care and personal care
  • Clothing and footwear
  • Recreation, education, and more

The index is adjusted over time to reflect changing consumer habits and weights.
