What is the estimate for 2027?

Based on the Bank of Portugal's inflation projections for 2026, the provisional estimate for the 2027 rent update coefficient is +2.00% (coefficient 1.0200). This figure is indicative and may go up or down depending on how the Consumer Price Index (CPI) actually evolves between August 2025 and July 2026.

Provisional estimate The 2027 coefficient is calculated from the average CPI variation over the 12 months from August 2025 to July 2026. Only in October 2026 will INE have the complete data and publish the official figure. Any estimate before that date is approximate, to be confirmed when INE publishes the official figure.

When does the official coefficient come out?

INE publishes the coefficient every year in October, through a Notice ("Aviso") in the Diário da República, Portugal's official gazette. In 2025, for example, the coefficient for 2026 was published in October 2025 (Notice no. 23174/2025). Following the same calendar, the coefficient for 2027 will be published in October 2026.

As soon as the official figure is known, this page and the calculator will be updated with the definitive coefficient.
