Personal rate of inflation

With my pensions rising by 4% this year, I wondered what the real rate of inflation was for me. I found an interesting personal inflation calculator here: https://www.rathbones.com/personal-inflation-calculator
Interestingly, it gave my personal rate of inflation as 0.3%. I am sixty-two now and working three days a week. I must be avoiding generally the types of expenditure that give rise to 4% plus inflation. Insurance seems to be quite a nasty area for high levels of inflation.

I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
