Argentine news outlet Noticias Argentinas has launched an interactive 'Salary vs. Inflation' calculator to help citizens determine the real value of their income. The calculator uses official data for the October 2025 Minimum, Vital, and Mobile Salary (SMVM) of 322,200 pesos and compares the accumulated salary increase (12.38% from January to October 2025) with inflation over the same period (25.05%). Users simply need to enter their monthly income for October 2025, and the calculator will provide three key pieces of information: how many SMVMs your current income represents; what your ideal salary would be to maintain purchasing power against inflation; and the peso difference between your current income and the amount you should be earning. This launch comes at a crucial time, as the National Government has convened the National Council on Employment, Productivity, and the Minimum, Vital, and Mobile Salary for November 26. The objective is to define a new minimum wage increase and update unemployment benefit amounts, seeking to restore purchasing power amid the inflationary surge. In a high-inflation context and awaiting a new adjustment to the Minimum, Vital, and Mobile Salary (SMVM) on November 26, Noticias Argentinas has released this interactive tool for you to know the real value of your income.
