RPI CALCULATOR FOR SAVINGS AND RENT REVIEWS
This RPI calculator shows the retail price index inflation from the date your savings were kept to the selected date. This calculator accurately reflects the real value of money adjusted by historic RPI inflation. The retail price index is published monthly by the Office of National Statistics and keeps track of the change in the cost of a representative sample of retail goods and services. Please bear in mind that this calculator uses RPI index values from 1915 to 1947 which are collated from unofficial UK accounts prepared by Department of Applied Economics at Cambridge University. The rest of the RPI index data starting from 1947 is taken from the official ONS statistics.
