Title: Retail price index
Post by: tlwcs on July 25, 2013, 02:40:52 pm

I have a customer that has been paying me £18. for 6 years
My round is now full and I have emailed him informing him the next visit will be £22.00 He has offered £20.00.
I will accept that but just wondered how I would find out with the cost of living over the last 6 years what the £18 should be
Anyone know how i would work this out.

Using that table and going to Jan 2013 as the current rate you should propose based on RPI compounded.

2007 2.3%  £18 + 2.3% = £18.41
2008 3.6%  £18.41 + 3.6% = £ 19.07
2009 2.2%  £19.07 + 2.2% = £ 19.49
2010 3.3%  £19.49 + 3.3% = £ 20.13
2011 4.5%  £20.13 + 4.5% = £ 21.03
2012 2.8%  £21.03 + 2.8% =  £21.62
