Main points The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) rose by 3.4% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 3.2% in the 12 months to February. On a monthly basis, CPIH rose by 0.6% in March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.3% in March 2025. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 3.3% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 3.0% in the 12 months to February. On a monthly basis, CPI rose by 0.7% in March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.3% in March 2025. Motor fuels made the largest upward contribution to the monthly change in both CPIH and CPI annual rates; clothing made the largest, partially offsetting, downward contribution. Core CPIH (CPIH excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco) rose by 3.3% in the 12 months to March 2026, down from 3.4% in the 12 months to February; the CPIH goods annual rate rose from 1.6% to 2.1%, while the CPIH services annual rate rose from 4.2% to 4.3%. Core CPI (CPI excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco) rose by 3.1% in the 12 months to March 2026, down from 3.2% in the 12 months to February; the CPI goods annual rate rose from 1.6% to 2.1%, while the CPI services annual rate rose from 4.3% to 4.5%.

On a monthly basis, CPIH rose by 0.6% in March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.3% in March 2025. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 3.3% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 3.0% in the 12 months to February. On a monthly basis, CPI rose by 0.7% in March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.3% in March 2025. The main drivers of the annual inflation rate for CPIH and CPI are the same where they are common to both measures. However, the owner occupiers' housing (OOH) costs component accounts for approximately 18% of the CPIH and is the main driver for differences between the CPIH and CPI inflation rates. This makes CPIH our most comprehensive measure of inflation. We cover this in more detail in Section 4: Latest movements in CPIH inflation and provide a commentary on the CPI in Section 5: Latest movements in CPI inflation. We also cover both CPIH and CPI in Section 3: Notable movements in prices, though the figures reflect CPIH. Page 4 of 23 3 .

Individual contributions may not sum to the total because of rounding. 2. More information on the contents of each division can be found in Table 3 of our Consumer price inflation dataset. Figure 2 shows the contributions from the 12 divisions to the change in the annual Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) inflation rate between February and March 2026. These sum to the change in the annual rate between the latest two months from 3.2% to 3.4%. The increase in the rate into March 2026 reflected upward contributions from four divisions, partially offset by downward contributions from four divisions. The largest upward contribution came from transport, particularly motor fuels. This was partially offset by a large downward contribution from clothing and footwear. Page 6 of 23 Transport Prices in the transport division rose overall by 4.7% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 2.4% in the 12 months to February (Figure 3). The latest annual rate was the highest recorded since December 2022. On a monthly basis, prices rose by 2.4% in March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.1% a year ago. This was the largest monthly increase since April 2025. The largest upward effect came from motor fuels. The average price of petrol rose by 8.6 pence per litre between February and March 2026, compared with a fall of 1.6 pence per litre between February and March 2025. The average price stood at 140.2 pence per litre in March 2026, the highest price since August 2024 when it was 142.3 pence per litre. Motor fuel prices are collected across the month and an average is used in constructing the indices. Diesel prices rose by 17.6 pence per litre in March 2026, compared with a fall of 1.6 pence per litre in March 2025. The average price stood at 158.7 pence per litre in March 2026, the highest price since November 2023 when it was 159.0 pence per litre. These movements resulted in overall motor fuel prices rising by 4.9% in the 12 months to March 2026, compared with a fall of 4.6% in the 12 months to February. The March figure was the highest recorded since January 2023. Figure 3: Motor fuels inflation rate was at its highest since January 2023 CPIH, transport and motor fuels 12-month inflation rates, UK, March 2016 to March 2026 Source: Consumer price inflation from the Office for National Statistics Within transport, there were smaller upward effects from air fares, and vehicle maintenance and repair, that were partially offset by a small downward contribution from rail fares. Air fares rose by 10.0% between February and March 2026, compared with a fall of 0.3% a year ago. The rise into March 2026 was the largest increase between February and March since 2016, when it was 22.9%. The upward effect came almost entirely from long haul routes, where the return flights were on the Tuesday immediately after the Easter weekend. All prices were collected before the outbreak of war in the Middle East on 28 February 2026. Page 7 of 23 Prices for vehicle maintenance and repair rose this year by more than a year ago, with the main upward contribution coming from roadside recovery services. Rail fares were little changed overall this year because of the price freeze on some fares, compared with a rise of 2.9% a year ago. There were small downward effects mainly from peak, off-peak and advance fares. Housing and household services The 12-month rate for housing and household services was 4.3% in March 2026, up slightly from 4.2% in February. Prices rose by 0.4% in the month to March 2026, compared with 0.2% a year ago. The increase in the rate resulted from large price rises for domestic heating oil. Prices increased by 90.5% in March this year, compared with a fall of 7.5% a year ago. This resulted in a 12-month rate of 95.3%, the highest since September 2022. This upward effect was partially offset by a small downward contribution from owner occupiers’ housing costs, which rose in March 2026 by less than a year ago. Food and non-alcoholic beverages Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose by 3.7% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 3.3% in the 12 months to February. On a monthly basis, food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose by 0.3% in March 2026, but were little changed a year ago. There were small upward effects behind the change in the annual rate from 4 of the 11 detailed classes, namely chocolate and confectionery, meat, fish, and soft drinks. These were partially offset by small downward contributions from bread and cereals, and dairy products. Page 8 of 23 Clothing and footwear Clothing and footwear prices fell by 0.8% in the 12 months to March 2026, compared with a rise of 0.9% in the 12 months to February (Figure 4). The March annual rate was the lowest recorded since March 2021, when prices were affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Figure 4: Clothing and footwear inflation rate was at its lowest since March 2021 CPIH, and clothing and footwear 12-month inflation rates, UK, March 2016 to March 2026 Source: Consumer price inflation from the Office for National Statistics On a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.6% in March 2026, compared with a larger rise of 2.3% a year ago. Prices usually rise in March as the spring product ranges continue to enter the shops following the new year sales period, but the rise into March 2025 was relatively large following a price fall in February. The price movements reflect changes in the proportion of discounted prices in the datasets. The proportion fell between February and March this year, but by less than the fall seen over the same period a year ago. The slowing in the 12-month rate was the result of downward effects from many of the more detailed categories, particularly women's and children's clothing. Page 9 of 23 4 . Latest movements in CPIH inflation Figure 5: Core CPIH annual inflation was last lower in October 2021 CPIH goods, services and core annual inflation rates, UK, March 2016 to March 2026 Source: Consumer price inflation from the Office for National Statistics Figure 5 shows the 12-month inflation rates for the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) series for all goods and all services, together with CPIH excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco (often referred to as core CPIH). The CPIH inflation rate is added for comparison. The core CPIH annual inflation rate was 3.3% in March 2026, down slightly from 3.4% in February and equal to the 3.3% seen in January. The rate was last lower in October 2021. The CPIH all-goods index rose by 2.1% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 1.6% in the 12 months to February. The largest upward contribution to the change in the annual rate came from energy. The largest, partially offsetting, downward effect came from non-energy industrial goods, particularly clothing and footwear goods. The CPIH all-services index rose by 4.3% in the 12 months to March 2026, up slightly from 4.2% in the 12 months to February. The largest upward contribution to the change in the annual rate came from travel and transport services, particularly air fares. The largest, partially offsetting, downward effect came from housing services, particularly owner occupiers' housing costs.

Individual contributions may not sum to the total because of rounding. 2. More information on the contents of each division can be found in Table 3 of our Consumer price inflation dataset. Figure 6 shows the extent to which the distinct categories of goods and services have contributed to the overall annual CPIH inflation rate over the last two years. The contribution of each category to the annual rate depends on the price movement in that category and its weight, which is updated annually. The largest positive contribution to the CPIH annual inflation rate came from housing and household services. The division has made the largest contribution for the last 21 months, starting from July 2024. However, its contribution had eased for 10 consecutive months from April 2025, until a rise between February and March 2026. The contributions to the rate from clothing and footwear, and furniture and household goods changed from small positives to small negatives between February and March 2026. This meant 10 divisions made positive contributions to the rate in March 2026 and 2 made negative contributions.

Individual contributions may not sum to the total because of rounding. Figure 7 shows the contributions from owner occupiers’ housing (OOH) costs and Council Tax to the annual CPIH inflation rate in the context of wider housing-related costs. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) differs from the CPIH because it does not include these two components. The annual contribution from OOH costs continued to slow and was 0.63 percentage points in March 2026. This contribution was the smallest since October 2022, when it was 0.62 percentage points. The contribution has decreased for 14 consecutive months from a recent high of 1.31 percentage points in January 2025. The annual contribution from electricity, gas and other fuels rose from 0.05 percentage points in February 2026 to 0.13 percentage points in March because of a sharp increase in the price of domestic heating oil. Page 12 of 23 5 . Latest movements in CPI inflation While the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) is our most comprehensive measure of consumer price inflation, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is based on a harmonised methodology developed by Eurostat. This enables international comparisons to be drawn. It is also used to set the operational inflation target for UK monetary policy, and to uprate working-age benefits and tax credits. More information on the use cases for our consumer price inflation statistics can be found in our Measuring changing prices and costs for consumers and households: December 2023 article. Figure 8 shows annual CPI inflation for the UK compared with the EU average and selected G7 countries. While the UK CPI is produced on a comparable basis with EU countries, the US Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) differs in some respects. More information is available in Note 1 to Figure 8. The UK's CPI inflation rate of 3.3% was higher than that of the EU (2.8%), Germany (2.8%) and France (2.0%) in March 2026. The last time the UK rate was lower than the rate for the EU overall was December 2024.

There are some differences in the definition of the US Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices that may limit comparison. More information is available on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics R-HICP homepage. The latest available figure is for December 2024. 2.

The headline CPI inflation rate is added for comparison. The core CPI annual inflation rate was 3.1% in March 2026, down slightly from 3.2% in February and equal to the 3.1% seen in January. The rate was last lower in September 2021. The CPI all-goods index rose by 2.1% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 1.6% in the 12 months to February. The CPI all-services index rose by 4.5% in the 12 months to March 2026, up from 4.3% in the 12 months to February. As with the all-items annual inflation rates, the drivers of CPIH and CPI goods and services inflation are the same (except for owner occupiers' housing (OOH) costs and Council Tax, which are excluded from CPI). The drivers are discussed in more detail in Section 4: Latest movements in CPIH inflation.

Individual contributions may not sum to the total because of rounding. 2. More information on the contents of each division can be found in Table 4 of our Consumer price inflation dataset. Figure 10 shows how each of the main groups of goods and services contributed to the change in the CPI annual inflation rate between February and March 2026. The increase in the rate into March 2026 reflected upward contributions from four divisions, partially offset by downward contributions from four divisions. The largest upward contribution came from transport, particularly motor fuels. This was partially offset by a large downward contribution from clothing and footwear. Though the sizes of the contributions differ from CPIH, the main drivers to the change are the same where they are common to both measures.

Figure 11 shows the extent to which the distinct categories of goods and services have contributed to the overall annual CPI inflation rate over the last two years. The CPIH includes extra housing components not included in the CPI. This can sometimes result in the largest contributions to the annual CPI and CPIH inflation rates coming from different divisions. However, the housing and household services division made the largest contribution to both measures in March 2026, with a 0.67 percentage point contribution to the CPI rate and a 1.31 percentage point contribution to the CPIH rate. OOH costs made an upward contribution to the housing and household services 12-month rate in the CPIH but are excluded from the CPI. Page 17 of 23 6 .

Glossary Annual inflation rate The most common approach to measuring inflation is the 12-month or annual inflation rate, which compares prices for the latest month with the same month a year ago. In any given month, the annual rate is determined by the balance between upward and downward price movements across the range of goods and services included in the index. Consumer price inflation Consumer price inflation is the rate at which the prices of goods and services bought by households rise or fall. It is estimated by using price indices. For an overview of the range of indices available and their uses, please see our Consumer price indices, a brief guide: 2026 and our Measuring changing prices and costs for consumers and households: December 2023 article. CPIH The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) is the most comprehensive measure of inflation. It extends the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) to include a measure of the costs associated with owning, maintaining and living in one's own home, known as owner occupiers' housing (OOH) costs, along with Council Tax. Both are substantial expenses for many households and are not included in the CPI. Page 18 of 23 CPI The CPI is a measure of consumer price inflation produced to international standards, and is based on European regulations for the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices. The CPI is the inflation measure used in the government's target for inflation. The CPI is produced at the same level of detail as the CPIH in our accompanying Consumer price inflation dataset and in our accompanying Consumer price inflation time series. Owner occupiers' housing costs OOH costs are the costs of housing services associated with owning, maintaining and living in one's own home. RPI The Retail Prices Index (RPI) and its subcomponents do not meet the required standard for designation as accredited official statistics. In recognition that the index continues to be widely used in contracts, we continue to publish the RPI, its subcomponents, and RPI excluding mortgage interest payments (RPIX). To view the all-items RPI, please see the data time series section of the Inflation and price indices area of our website. The annual RPI inflation rate was 4.1% in March 2026. The UK Statistics Authority (The Authority) and HM Treasury launched a consultation in 2020 on The Authority's proposal to address the shortcomings of the RPI. From 2030 (at the earliest), as outlined in The Authority's response to the joint consultation on reforming the methodology of the Retail Prices Index, the CPIH methods and data sources will be introduced into the RPI. Additionally, the supplementary and lower-level indices of the RPI will be discontinued. 8 . Data sources and quality Treatment of energy prices in consumer price inflation statistics In the 2025 Autumn Budget, the government announced it would take an average of £150 off the cost of energy bills from April 2026 by making policy changes that would result in lowering the per-unit price. For customers on standard variable tariffs, the effect of this coincided with the start of the April to July Ofgem energy price cap on 1 April. For customers on fixed tariffs, the savings were to be passed on in full to all customers already on fixed tariffs on 1 April. As this policy influences the unit prices that domestic consumers are charged, these reduced prices will be used in compiling the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), Consumer Prices Index (CPI) and Retail Prices Index (RPI). For the gas and electricity variable tariff items, these will be picked up through the usual index compilation process. For the two fixed tariff items, which use a 12-month rolling average, the unit rates for existing customers starting their contracts during May 2025 to March 2026 will be adjusted downwards for the compilation of the April 2026 indices onwards. Page 19 of 23 Introducing scanner data into consumer price inflation statistics We introduced scanner data for approximately 50% of the grocery market with the February 2026 index, published on 25 March 2026. Instead of collecting 25,000 prices per month directly from shops by price collectors, we are now using approximately 300 million price points derived from sales of over a billion units of products per month, collected directly from supermarket scanners at the checkouts or online. For the remaining 50% of the groceries market, we continue to manually collect prices in-store and online. For comparison, we produced the all-items headline rates for February 2026 without using scanner data. Based on locally collected grocery data, the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) rose by 3.3% in the year to February 2026, and the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 3.1%. These were slightly above the official rates of 3.2% and 3.0%, respectively. You can find more about this change and how it affects our headline measures of inflation in our Impact analysis on transformation of UK consumer price statistics: January 2026 article. We also published our Overview of how we use scanner data in consumer price inflation statistics: January 2026 article and our How multilateral index methods help us understand grocery scanner data article, which support user understanding of how we use the data. This change was incorporated into the CPI and CPIH February 2026 datasets, and will be introduced in the Household Costs Indices (HCIs), to be published on 28 May 2026. Following the Bank of England response to the proposed changes to the Retail Prices Index (RPI) in 2026 (143.6 kB PDF), required under the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, the change was also included in the RPI. This followed some changes introduced with the February 2025 index in March 2025, as a necessary step towards incorporating scanner data into the consumer price indices. At that point, the process for aggregating the detailed information changed. Goods and services were allocated into "consumption segments" for different categories of expenditure. In some cases, we defined these consumption segments to correspond to one "item" for which we track prices over time. However, in cases where more comprehensive source data were going to become available, a consumption segment was set up to include much more than just one item. There is more information on the use of consumption segments in our Introducing alternative data into consumer price statistics: aggregation and weights article. For simplicity, we continue to refer to "items" in our statistical bulletin and detailed briefing note. Changes to published microdata Despite the benefits of introducing scanner data into the consumer price indices, we can no longer publish the price quote data for food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcohol and tobacco (Divisions 1 and 2 of the CPIH and CPI), or the equivalent categories of RPI in our Consumer price inflation consumption segment indices and price quotes dataset. This is because of our data-sharing agreements with retailers. Instead, we have developed new aggregate output statistics to meet the needs of users. We are publishing regional consumption segment indices and weights, and counts of indicator marker codes (for example, sales and recoveries) that are manually collected as part of the traditional data collection. We first published these from March 2026, with the release of the February 2026 indices. Further outputs will be introduced in summer 2026. More information on the new outputs is available in our Changes to the provision of microdata outputs for consumer price inflation statistics: January 2026 article. Page 20 of 23 Households and the cost of living To assist individuals in understanding how the rise in inflation affects their expenditure, we have produced a personal inflation calculator. The calculator allows users to enter the amount they spend across either a reduced or a wide range of categories, to produce an estimate of their personal inflation based on those spending patterns. Our Shopping prices comparison tool shows how the average prices of items have changed over time. Please note that the newly introduced consumption segments for food, drink and tobacco will not have data before 2025 in the tool. However, the historical average prices for food, drink and tobacco items, that were in the tool before the update in 2025, can be found in our Shopping prices comparison tool data download before the 2025 update. Please also note that Table 55 in our historical Consumer price inflation dataset, which provided time series of prices for petrol and diesel, has not been published since 19 February 2025, and the two series have been discontinued. Historical average prices are still available from the time series explorer function on our website, using the four-character identifiers CZMK for petrol and CZML for diesel. On 26 February 2026, we published our quarterly Household Costs Indices (HCIs) for UK household groups bulletin. The HCIs reflect how different types of households experience changing prices, and differ from CPIH and CPI. The CPIH and CPI are based on recognised economic principles and provide an aggregate measure of inflation for household spending in the UK. The HCIs are official statistics in development and this release included new estimates for October to December 2025. It was not possible for this latest release to update the weights for 2025 in line with the standard methodology for consumer prices. This is because of delays in processing the underlying survey data and the need for further, ongoing quality assurance. Instead, the most recent estimates have been compiled using the weights for February to December 2024. We will update the weights as soon as the data are available to use. Passenger transport by air A monthly index for passenger transport by air is included in the monthly consumer price inflation dataset. From March 2025, we also began publishing a set of subindices and weights on an annual basis. Domestic, European and long-haul airfares consumer prices sub-indices and weights was updated on 25 March 2026 with data for March 2025 to February 2026, and a longer historical time series back to 2007. From March 2026, we have also started to release quarterly and annual average air fares, again on an annual basis. The analyses are released in the user requested data section of our website. Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) The Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) is the classification that underpins some of the main statistics that we produce. To reflect changes in household expenditure patterns since its inception in the late 1990s, the classification was updated in 2018 (PDF, 1,286KB). The UK currently uses the version of COICOP introduced in 1999, which was updated in 2017 to add additional detail at the sub-class level. However, we plan to have implemented the updated COICOP 2018 by 2029, as referenced in Section B4 of our Economic statistics plan and Section 5 of our Economic statistics progress report. We will also consider re-referencing the CPI as part of the move to the new classification and will provide users with full details of our plans, once finalised. For further information, please email cpi@ons.gov.uk. Weights for 2026 consumer price inflation statistics In line with usual practice at the start of each year, the expenditure weights used in compiling the CPIH and CPI were calculated using updated spending information. The first update of weights was implemented with the January indices. The second update was introduced, along with the usual basket update, with the February indices released in March. We published our Consumer price inflation, updating weights: 2026 article and our Consumer price inflation basket of goods and services: 2026 article on 16 March 2026. The 2026 weights for CPIH and CPI were calculated using national accounts household final consumption expenditure (HHFCE) data for 2024. They reflect our most comprehensive and complete estimate of the latest household spending at the time of the weights update. This is in line with our standard methodology. More information is available in our Consumer price inflation, updating weights article series. The weights for the RPI were also updated and introduced with the February 2026 index. Page 21 of 23 Consumer price inflation historical estimates, UK, 1950 to 1988 On 18 May 2022, we published our Consumer price inflation, historical estimates, UK, 1950 to 1988 – methodology and our Consumer price inflation, historical estimates and recent trends, UK: 1950 to 2022 article. These include new estimates of CPIH and improved estimates of CPI for 1950 to 1988. These estimates (published in response to user need for a longer series) are indicative and are for analytical purposes only. They are not intended for official use and do not constitute part of the accredited official statistics series. Previously, in December 2018, we published our Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) historical series: 1988 to 2004 article. These series are also not classed as accredited official statistics, reflecting the historical uncertainty around the backcasts. Methodology information The consumer price indices are based on prices collected manually from outlets around the country, information collected centrally over the internet and by phone, and, from February 2026, data collected from supermarket scanners at the checkouts or online. The traditionally sourced data used in this release were collected on or around 17 March 2026. An overview of consumer price statistics is given in our Consumer price indices, a brief guide: 2026. The concepts and methodologies underpinning the indices in more detail are covered in our Consumer prices indices technical guidance. Information on the users and uses of these statistics, and the characteristics of the different measures of inflation related to potential use, is included in our Users and uses of consumer price inflation statistics: July 2018 update methodology. Strengths and limitations In our Measuring changing prices and costs for consumers and households article, we illustrated our approach to the process using three "use cases", and described how they relate to the measures published and under development. The three cases refer firstly to the CPIH as our lead measure of inflation, based on economic principles. They also refer to the HCIs as a set of measures that reflect the change in costs and prices experienced by different households, and the RPI as a legacy measure that is required to meet existing user needs. The issues with the RPI are described in our Shortcomings of the Retail Prices Index as a measure of inflation article. Accredited official statistics These accredited official statistics were independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation in July 2017. They comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics and should be labelled "accredited official statistics". Revisions and correction of errors policies for consumer price inflation statistics Our Revisions and correction of errors policies for consumer price inflation statistics are stated separately to highlight the differences between them. Within each policy, there is information on how the policy is applied, in what circumstances users will be notified and how users will be notified. This policy replaces our previous Revisions policy for consumer price inflation statistics, published in March 2017. Page 22 of 23 9 .

Full historic series for each of the re-referenced indices are available for users to view or download. Regular re-referencing of indices is methodological good practice as it avoids rounding issues that can arise from small index values.

Full historic series for each of the re-referenced indices are available for users to view or download. Regular re-referencing of indices is methodological good practice as it avoids rounding issues that can arise from small index values. Please note that re-referencing does not impact on published inflation rates, although when using the indices to calculate infla- tion rates, it is impor tant to use indices that are referenced on the same year.
