Inflation Calculator FAQs
Is this based on historical UK inflation data?+
No. You choose the annual rate, making this a future inflation and purchasing-power calculator.
What inflation rate should I use?+
There is no certain future rate. Comparing several plausible assumptions is more useful than relying on one figure.
Why does inflation compound?+
Each year’s price increase applies to a price that already includes previous increases.
