A consumer price index (CPI) is a statistical estimate of the level of prices of goods and services bought for consumption purposes by households. It is calculated as the weighted average price of a representative market basket of consumer goods and services, tracking changes in prices over time. The index is widely used as an economic indicator to measure inflation and assess the cost of living.
