Purchasing power calculator

What did a Märklin locomotive cost in 1975 – and what would that be today? Enter the year and the price, for example from an old catalog, price list or receipt. The calculator converts the amount to 2025 purchasing power using the consumer price index of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis).

Basis: consumer price index of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis; West Germany up to 1990), annual averages; DM converted to euros at 1.95583 DM per euro. The result shows purchasing power, not current collector or market value.
