UK inflation rate — CPI, CPIH and RPI

Headline UK consumer price inflation and everything under it: the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), CPI including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), and the Retail Prices Index (RPI and RPIX) that gilts, rail fares and many contracts are still indexed to — each as an index and as an annual rate — then the twelve COICOP divisions and the thirty-five spending groups beneath them, which is the level at which an inflation number stops being a headline and becomes an explanation.

About this data

Headline UK consumer price inflation and everything under it: the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), CPI including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), and the Retail Prices Index (RPI and RPIX) that gilts, rail fares and many contracts are still indexed to — each as an index and as an annual rate — then the twelve COICOP divisions and the thirty-five spending groups beneath them, which is the level at which an inflation number stops being a headline and becomes an explanation. Published monthly by the Office for National Statistics. Also on this page: the ONS Household Costs Indices by income decile, tenure and household type, and the BIS monthly consumer price series since 1915.
