Complete 2026 Release Schedule
What this release measures
The Producer Price Index measures average changes in prices that domestic producers receive for their output. BLS publishes indexes for goods, services, and construction across multiple stages of production.
The monthly report includes headline measures and detailed categories. “Final demand” refers to goods, services, and construction sold for personal consumption, capital investment, government, and export.
Why the Federal Reserve watches it
PPI can reveal price pressure earlier in the production pipeline and helps policymakers assess whether inflation is broadening or easing before it reaches consumers.
PPI is not the Fed’s inflation target and does not translate one-for-one into CPI or PCE. Policymakers compare it with consumer inflation, wages, productivity, expectations, and demand.
How to read the schedule
- The latest official result above is the preliminary September 2026 PPI estimate released on October 15, 2026.
- BLS revised the July and August figures as late reports and respondent corrections became available; the trend uses the revised history in this release.
- Every date and 8:30 AM ET publication time in the table comes from the official BLS 2026 release calendar.
- The table shows 13 publication dates because two different reference periods are scheduled in January 2026.
- “Period covered” identifies the month whose producer prices are measured, not the publication month.
- BLS can revise the schedule and the estimates, so confirm the linked official calendar before a time-sensitive decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PPI the same as CPI?
No. PPI tracks prices received by domestic producers, while CPI tracks prices paid by urban consumers. The two indexes cover different transactions, so a monthly PPI change is not a forecast of the next CPI change.
Does core PPI always exclude the same categories?
Check the series label. BLS publishes PPI excluding food and energy as well as a measure excluding food, energy, and trade services. The core series shown in this page’s latest report excludes all three; it should not be compared as if it were the food-and-energy-only series.
What did the latest PPI report show?
The latest official report, released October 15, 2026 for September 2026, showed final-demand PPI up 1.3% for the month and 6.3% over 12 months. PPI excluding food, energy, and trade services rose 0.5% monthly and 5.0% over 12 months. September estimates are preliminary.
When is the next PPI report?
As reviewed on September 12, 2026, the next Producer Price Index release is scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2026 at 8:30 AM Eastern Time. It covers October 2026.
What time does PPI come out?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics schedules the Producer Price Index release for 8:30 AM Eastern Time.
What does PPI measure?
PPI measures the average change over time in selling prices received by domestic producers. It covers goods, services, and construction at different stages of production.
Does PPI predict CPI or PCE inflation?
Not mechanically. Producer costs can affect consumer prices, but margins, productivity, imports, taxes, and demand can change how much passes through. The Fed evaluates PPI alongside CPI, PCE, wages, and inflation expectations.
