History
UK inflation over time: CPI and CPIH
Each point is the percentage change in prices over the previous 12 months. CPIH includes owner occupiers’ housing costs.
The selected chart trend will appear here when the chart loads.
What CPI measures
The Consumer Prices Index measures how the prices of a representative basket of goods and services change over time. CPIH is a broader measure that also includes owner occupiers' housing costs and Council Tax.
How to read the figure
An annual CPI rate compares the CPI basket with the same month a year earlier. It does not mean every household's own costs increased by exactly the headline rate.
