Updated calculations from the Joint Economic Committee – Minority estimate how much more an average family in every state has spent on goods and services since President Trump took office. The report found that Americans have spent on average $2,300 more on goods and services because of inflation under President Trump. The report includes that Americans are spending an average of $477 more for housing expenses, such as rent or mortgage payments, and $368 more for transportation costs, such as for a new or used car, car repairs, and gas. 

See a list of the latest state-by-state data here and in the map below.

The analysis uses recent data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis on household spending and the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) data that tracks inflation through March 2026. CPI estimates the costs that households pay for all purchases and expenses, including housing, transportation, food, clothing, health care, utilities, and other essentials. This analysis uses the same methods that the Joint Economic Committee – Republicans used under the last administration to estimate state-level costs.
