Introduction to the RPI and CPI
The rate of inflation is measured by monitoring prices for goods and services. The rates derived from these figures are known as price indices and are used for assessing tax allowances, wages, state benefits and pensions.www.icaew.com
The simple difference is that the RPI includes main housing costs such as mortgages, and this is why salaries and pension rises are now calculated on the CPI when they used to be calculated on the RPI. That is of course to save the employers cash.Consumer Price Inflation
Retail Price Inflation
INAExpert but they monitor the price changes in a notional 'basket' of goods & services.
CPI & RPI monitor non-identical 'baskets' & also differ in how they calculate the figure.
There used to be c.1% difference between CPI & RPI (RPI higher) but I don't know what it is now.
