Just completed the BBC website Personal Inflation Calculator.

I got a figure of 9.6% (doubt my own personal circumstances will be taken into account for my next pay round negotiations )

Anyone care to join me in a bit of fun and post their own figure?

-2.4%

Very surprised.

Still waiting for the "bit of fun" you promised though.... I guess some people get their kicks a bit more easily than others eh?

THese figures ar a bit 'generalised' - If I put in my mortgage I get -7.8%. If I exclude the mortgage (as if I were on a fixed rate or a dodgy svr like Chelsea for example) then it is +4.2%...

With a fairly dodgy HSBC mortgage I am probably nearer the later than the former

lovely - mine comes to this.
"Your cost of living changes by -17.7% a year"

very surprised but not complaining - it seems a bit generalised as mortgage rates aren't taken into account SVR or Fixed.

First result was 0%, was surprised to say the least! Buggy page, resubmitted and got my real result of 5.3%. Not crippling yet, but a pain none the less, pay freeze doesn't help!

+4.2%, as expected.

-9.6

In reality our CPI would be a lot lower.

Of course if you are STR and lots of your money in the bank is earmarked to buy property at the bottom the house price falls are causing a huge increase in the purchasing power of your savings

Mine was 4.1% when I put my mortgage in, 0% when I took it out, which doesn't make any sense as I'm on a fixed rate.

2.1. so i am 2.1% worse off this year!

+7.8% for me, just goes to show from the replies already, only homeowners on trackers or SVR's have personal inflation anywhere near 0%, still better keep printing Clown, as you will have gone the way of the dodo when inflation hits double figures, and it will within 3 years.(CPI at any rate)
