So are prices going up or going down? Inflation as measured by the Retail Price Index rose from -1.4% to -0.8%, and the Consumer Price Index also rose to 1.5% from 1.1%, but still below the government's target of 2%.

But how does this all affect you?

Your personal rate of inflation depends on how you spend your money and may not match the official rate of inflation. Use this calculator to get a much more accurate picture of how inflation affects you.

The calculator was developed by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Information entered is safe as it stays on your computer.
