Is it Brexit's fault?

Nah, it's that damned Putin. He's hacked ns&i.

His name was Brown: Gordon Brown. His excuse was some flummery about international comparisons, EU, blah, blah, blah.

As far as the calculator is concerned my total is down £106 compared to last month.

My own calculation comes to £17554.61 which is "close" to the 17562.38 from the official calculator.

However last month the calculator was £17668 and if I put RPI 267.1 for Dec I get £17660.

So it looks like the calculator is correct based on the RPI figure going down from Dec.
