Prices And Inflation Calculator
In today's comparatively low inflation economy it's easy to forget what a problem inflation was for politicians, economists and consumers. This calculator lets you see how the value of money has changed between 1900 and 2015. It uses annual RPI inflation for which the most recent data is 2015.
Note: This calculator uses annual RPI (Retail Prices Index) data and reflects the percentage change over that 12 month period. Figures for 1900-1948 are the official rough estimates from the Office For National Statistics (ONS).
