| Commodity | Unit | Price (in ₹) for year 2000 |
Price (in ₹) for year 2006 |
| Butter | kg | 27 | 33 |
| Cheese | kg | 30 | 36 |
| Milk | litre | 25 | 29 |
| Bread | loaf | 10 | 14 |
| Eggs | doz | 24 | 36 |
| Ghee | tin | 250 | 320 |
| Total | 366 | 468 | |
From the table, ∑ p0 = 366, ∑ p1 = 468
Price Index Number (P01) = `(sum "p"_1)/(sum "p"_0) xx 100`
`= 468/366 xx 100`
= 127.87
