Rent inflation in Ireland: what if the recent trend continues?
Rent inflation in Ireland has no clear direction in the latest official figures. Here is what it would mean in everyday money if that pace carried on — and if it slowed or stopped.
Monthly rent
| Path | Today | In 1 year | In 3 years | In 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recent pace continues +4.41% a year | 900 € | 940 € | 1,024 € | 1,117 € |
| Pace halves +2.21% a year | 900 € | 920 € | 961 € | 1,004 € |
| Stops changing 0% a year | 900 € | 900 € | 900 € | 900 € |
At the recent pace, a monthly rent of 900 € would be about 1,117 € in 5 years (+217 €).
How this is calculated
- Price and pay figures are 12-month changes. Each path applies one yearly rate to your amount: the average of the last 12 months, half of it, or no change. Unemployment paths move the rate by the change over the last year, half of it, or not at all.
- This is arithmetic, not a forecast. Official figures rarely move in a straight line, and your own costs depend on what you buy and where you live.
