Procurement contract price-index adjustment calculator

Calculate unindexed fixed price share and uncapped index-driven price change with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Choose the currency for these amounts. Changing it keeps your numbers and does not convert exchange rates.

Use unindexed fixed price share and uncapped index-driven price change to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Unindexed fixed price share (%)

100−sum supplied variable index weights.

Uncapped index-driven price change (%)

Fixed share+sum(weight×current/base index)−1, expressed as percent.

Change after entered cap/floor (%)

Clamp the exact rational index factor to the entered permitted decrease/increase.

Adjusted unit price ($)

Round base price×clamped factor half-up to US cents.

Adjusted minus base unit price ($)

Adjusted cent price−base cent price.
