Personal inflation calculator
Don’t accept the average, work out your own personal inflation rate
The personal inflation calculator is a web-based tool that allows users to calculate an inflation rate based on their personal expenditure patterns, rather than the averages used in published statistics. It does this by weighting together price indices from the Retail Prices Index (RPI) to arrive at a personal inflation rate.
The personal calculator is designed to allow users to understand more about inflation and how it affects them, and also to contribute to the debate about inflation measurement.
To try out the personal inflation calculator go to www.statistics.gov.uk
