For the calculation of the IPCA-15, prices were collected from September 16 to October 13, 2025 (reference period) and compared with those in effect from August 15 to September 15, 2025 (base period). The index refers to families with incomes ranging from 1 to 40 minimum wages and covers the Metropolitan Areas of Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Recife, São Paulo, Belém, Fortaleza, Salvador, and Curitiba, as well as Brasília and the municipality of Goiânia. The methodology used is the same as the IPCA's; the difference lies in the period of price collection and the geographical coverage.
