What this measures

The percentage change over twelve months in the Retail Prices Index, a legacy measure retained because it still governs some contracts, index-linked gilts and student loan interest.

What this doesn’t measure

A statistically sound measure of inflation: RPI lost its National Statistic status in 2013 and ONS advises against its use.

Important caveat

RPI is not a good measure of inflation. ONS withdrew its National Statistic status in 2013 because of a known formula effect that biases it upwards, and has said it will be aligned with CPIH from 2030. It is published because contracts, index-linked gilts and student loan interest still refer to it.
