Hi folks, this may be a silly question but what is the most reliable way of seeing at what percentage inflation is currently at?
New to saving and investing and would like to know what % I need to aim to beat.

As above, there are published indices (and a selection to choose from), but the most reliable measure is your own personal inflation, so monitor your own expenditure closely!DPR87 said:Hi folks, this may be a silly question but what is the most reliable way of seeing at what percentage inflation is currently at?

Going forward most people use somewhere between 2 and 3 % in their calculations , although it could be different of course .1
