How this is calculated
We apply the ratio of the ONS Consumer Prices Index (CPI, series D7BT) between the two years — the same method used by the Bank of England's public inflation calculator. For example £100 in 2015 scales by 138.4 / 100.0 = 1.384 to give £138.40 in 2024.
The annualised rate is the compound inflation per year required to turn the start value into the end value over the period. The cumulative figure is the total change over the whole span.

What this means
If you earned, spent or received £5,000 in 2010, its purchasing power in today's money is about £8,199. In other words, to buy the same basket of goods and services in 2024 you'd need roughly £8,199 — a difference of £3,199 over 14 years.
The annualised inflation rate between 2010 and 2024 worked out at about 3.60% per year — compounded over that period that stacks up to the cumulative 64.0% change.
