Our calculations use the following inflation rate formula to calculate the change in value between 1994 and 1995:
Then plug in historical CPI values. The U.K. CPI was 568.5 in the year 1994 and 588.2 in 1995:

To get the total inflation rate for the 1 years between 1994 and 1995, we use the following formula:
Plugging in the values to this equation, we get:
Raw data for these calculations comes from the composite price index published by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS). A composite index is created by combining price data from several different published sources, both official and unofficial. The Consumer Price Index, normally used to compute inflation, has only been tracked since 1988. All inflation calculations after 1988 use the Office for National Statistics' Consumer Price Index, except for the current year, which is based on The Bank of England's forecast.
