Formula

Target Rate = 2 + Inflation + 0.5×(Inflation - Target) + 0.5×(Output Gap)
  • Taylor Rule Calculator calculates its result from Inflation Rate (%), Inflation Target (%), Output Gap (%). It uses the formula Target Rate = 2 + Inflation + 0.5×(Inflation - Target) + 0.5×(Output Gap). Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are Inflation Rate, Inflation Target, Output Gap. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Use monetary amounts, rates and time periods exactly as labeled; the result reflects the assumptions entered on this page.
