UK Inflation Rate gives you the official UK consumer price inflation rate month by month: the same 12-month figure reported on release day, with the date it was published and when the next one is due.
Ask for series D7G7 for the CPI 12-month rate, or L55O for CPIH, which adds owner occupiers' housing costs and is the statistics office's lead measure. Any other series code from the official prices dataset works too.
What you can do
- ons_series — the latest rate, its release date, the next release date and up to 200 months of history
Who it's for
Finance teams indexing contracts and prices, landlords and HR teams reviewing rents and pay, and analysts or journalists tracking the cost of living in the UK.
How to use it
- Call ons_series with series_id "D7G7" for the CPI 12-month inflation rate
- Use "L55O" for CPIH, or set frequency to "annual" for yearly figures
- Read next_release to know when the figure will next change
Getting started
Pass series_id "D7G7" with a limit of 12 for the last year of monthly rates.
