What your supplier adds between PO and delivery

Between the day you sign a PO and the day the goods arrive, your supplier updates prices. The question is how much of that increase reflects real costs, and how much is extra margin. This tool uses the official US producer price indexes (PPI) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The percentages come from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index (August 2026). They're official figures, not estimates.

This is how much prices in each category have actually moved. If your supplier raised prices by more than this, the difference is up for negotiation.
