We report this percentage every month but here are three things you may not know.
Every month we report the UK's inflation figures, but what does this percentage going up or down actually mean for your money?
And that same bag of groceries would have been priced at £10.13 in December 2021, but jumped to £11.19 this December just passed, latest figures show. Food inflation is currently at 16.8%, much higher than the average rate, so people who spend a greater proportion of their outgoings on food will find their personal inflation rate is higher than the 10.5% headline figure.
The Bank is expected to stick with that strategy - of putting up interest rates - throughout this year. So if you have a tracker mortgage or a credit card or loan you could find yourself paying more interest. That's another way your own personal inflation rate could be affected.Occasionally prices will fall very slightly compared to the previous month, but they are much less likely to fall year-on-year.
That means businesses have less money coming in, so they try to find ways to cut costs - most likely by cutting wages or laying off staff.
