Monthly price trends in Ontario

From July 2025 to July 2026, All-items CPI for Ontario changed by 2.04%.

Ontario CPI measures change through time for the provincial basket and does not compare Ontario’s absolute price level with another province.

These rankings use only category series for Ontario with the same release and exact reference months.

Categories with a missing start or end observation are excluded. No other geography, period, release or index is substituted.

How to read these numbers

These values are Consumer Price Index points. They are not dollar prices, household spending totals, or percentages.

• The source sets its base period to 100 (2002=100). A value above 100 means the measured basket’s price level is higher than it was in that base period; a value below 100 means it is lower.
• When the index rises from one month to another, the measured basket became more expensive. When it falls, the basket became less expensive. Individual products and household costs can move differently.
• The reference month is the month the prices represent, which may be earlier than the date the source published the data.
• Source status repeats any special flag supplied by the official provider. “No special status reported” means the provider did not attach a special flag to that observation.

The latest published value is 169.9 for July 2026. Read it as an index level; use the percentage-change cards above to see how much it changed over time.
