What you’ll get

    Pick the commodities your price follows — a single item such as cement, or a broad group such as All Commodities.
  2. 2
    Choose the assessment period — the date you are escalating to.
  3. 3
    Read the answer — choose the period you are escalating from and enter an amount to see the index factor, the % change and the escalated amount, with a chart and a table for every period.
Index factor = index at the assessment period ÷ index of the period you escalate from
Escalated amount = base amount × index factor
