</p><p>Figure 2 shows the contributions from the 12 divisions to the change in the annual Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) inflation rate between August and September 2026. These sum to the change in the annual rate, from 3.3% to 3.6%, between these months.</p><p>The increase in the 12-month rate between August and September 2026 reflected upward contributions from six divisions, partially offset by downward contributions from three divisions. The largest upward contribution came from transport, particularly motor fuels. The largest offsetting downward contribution came from restaurants and hotels.</p><p>Prices in the transport division rose overall by 6.6% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 4.6% the previous month (Figure 3). On a monthly basis, prices fell by 0.4% in September 2026, compared with a fall of 2.3% a year ago.</p><p>
</p><p>The largest upward effect contributing to the rise in the transport annual rate came from motor fuels.</p><p>The average price of petrol rose by 8.2 pence per litre between August and September 2026, compared with a fall of 0.2 pence per litre between August and September 2025. The average price stood at 169.5 pence per litre in September 2026. This is the highest price recorded since August 2022. </p><p>Diesel prices rose by 10.7 pence per litre in September 2026, compared with a fall of 0.4 pence per litre in September 2025. The average price stood at 192.5 pence per litre in September 2026. This is the highest price recorded since July 2022.</p><p>These movements resulted in overall motor fuel prices rising by 29.8% in the 12 months to September 2026, compared with a rise of 23.0% the previous month.</p><p>Within transport, there were smaller upward effects from air fares and sea fares, and partially offsetting small downward effects from roadside recovery, and second-hand cars. </p><p>Air fares fell by 19.5% between August and September 2026, compared with a fall of 28.8% between August and September 2025. The upward effect came from European routes where fares fell by less in September 2026 than they did in September 2025.</p><p>All domestic, European and long-haul flight prices were collected after the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East on 28 February 2026. </p><p>Prices for roadside recovery saw a large fall this year and a large rise a year ago. Second-hand petrol cars and second-hand diesel cars saw a fall in price this year and a rise in price last year. </p><p>Recreation and culture prices rose by 0.7% in the month to September 2026, compared with little change a year ago. This led to a 12-month rate of 2.3% in September 2026, up from 1.6% in August.</p><p>The largest contribution to the upward effect came from live music where prices rose by 0.9% this year and fell by 8.6% last year. There was also an upward effect from computer game downloads where prices rose by 40.0% this year and 16.1% last year. There were smaller upward contributions from package holidays, cultural events, leisure classes, Blu-ray discs, music downloads, computer software, and televisions. </p><p>The 12-month rate for housing and household services was 4.5% in September 2026, up from 4.3% in August. Prices rose by 0.5% in the month to September 2026, compared with a rise of 0.3% a year ago.</p><p>The rise in the 12-month rate between August and September 2026 mainly reflected an upward effect from owner occupiers’ housing (OOH) costs. These rose by 4.0% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 3.9% the previous month. On a monthly basis, OOH costs rose by 0.6% in September 2026, compared with a rise of 0.5% a year ago.</p><p>There was also an upward effect from kerosene, where prices rose by 22.7%, compared with a fall of 1.4% a year ago. </p><p>The 12-month inflation rate for food and non-alcoholic beverages was 1.3% in September 2026, unchanged from August (Figure 4). The rate was last lower in September 2021, when it was 0.8%. On a monthly basis, food and non-alcoholic beverage prices fell by 0.2% in September 2026, the same fall as in September 2025.</p><p>
</p><p>All 11 detailed classes within the food and non-alcoholic beverages division had little effect on the change in the headline rate. However, the consumption segments for other breakfast bakery products; cakes, tarts and sweet pies; tomatoes; and potato crisps had upward effects. The consumption segments for beef, chocolate assortments, and fizzy drinks had downward effects.</p><p>Although the annual rate of inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverage prices has remained the same for the last three months, organisations like <a>the Food and Drink Federation expect food inflation to arrive later and persist for longer</a>. This is partly because pressure on household budgets, competition and retailer resistance to price increases have limited manufacturers' ability to pass on higher costs.</p><p>Prices in the restaurants and hotels division rose by 3.8% in the 12 months to September 2026, down from 4.1% in the 12 months to August 2026. On a monthly basis, prices rose by 0.5% in September 2026, compared with a rise of 0.8% a year ago.</p><p>The downward contribution came from hotels where prices rose by 2.3% compared with a rise of 3.8% a year ago. </p><p>
</p><p>Figure 5 shows the 12-month inflation rates for the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) series for all goods and all services, together with CPIH excluding energy, food, alcohol, and tobacco (often referred to as core CPIH). The CPIH inflation rate is added for comparison.</p><p>The core CPIH annual inflation rate was 3.1% in September 2026, up from 2.9% in August. </p><p>The CPIH all-goods index rose by 3.2% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 2.7% the previous month. This was the highest rate since September 2023. The largest upward contribution to the change in the annual rate came from energy, particularly motor fuels and kerosene. </p><p>The CPIH all-services index rose by 3.9% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 3.6% in the 12 months to August. The largest upward contribution to the change in the annual rate came from transport services, particularly air fares. </p><p>
</p><p>Figure 6 shows the extent to which the distinct categories of goods and services have contributed to the overall annual CPIH inflation rate over the last two years. The contribution of each category to the annual rate depends on the price movement in that category and its weight, which is updated annually.</p><p>The contribution from food and non-alcoholic beverages has broadly eased from a recent high of 0.46 percentage points in August 2025. The contribution was 0.11 percentage points in September 2026, the same as August 2026 and the smallest since September 2021. </p><p>The largest positive contribution to the CPIH annual inflation rate came from housing and household services. The division has made the largest contribution for the last 27 months, starting from July 2024.</p><p>
</p><p>Figure 7 shows the contributions from owner occupiers’ housing (OOH) costs and Council Tax to the annual CPIH inflation rate in the context of wider housing-related costs. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) differs from the CPIH because it does not include these two components.</p><p>The annual contribution from OOH costs rose to 0.70 percentage points in September 2026. This was the fourth consecutive rise between months and followed 16 consecutive decreases. Although the current contribution was larger than the previous month’s, it was smaller than the recent high of 1.31 percentage points in January 2025.</p><p>The contribution from electricity, gas and other fuels also rose, to 0.19 percentage points in September 2026. This was the largest contribution from this category since September 2025.</p><p>While the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) is our most comprehensive measure of consumer price inflation, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is based on a harmonised methodology developed by Eurostat.</p><p>This enables international comparisons to be drawn. It is also used to set the operational inflation target for UK monetary policy, and to uprate working-age benefits and tax credits. More information on the use cases for our consumer price inflation statistics can be found in our <a>Measuring changing prices and costs for consumers and households: December 2023 article</a>.</p><p>Figure 8 shows annual CPI inflation for the UK compared with the EU average and selected G7 countries. While the UK CPI is produced on a comparable basis with EU countries, the US Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) differs in some respects. More information is available in Note 1 to Figure 8.</p><p>The UK's CPI inflation rate of 3.5% was higher than the inflation rates of France (3.4%) and Germany (3.3%) in September 2026.</p><p>

</p><p>Figure 9 shows the 12-month inflation rates for the CPI all-goods and all-services series, together with CPI excluding energy, food, alcohol, and tobacco (often referred to as core CPI). The headline CPI inflation rate is added for comparison.</p><p>The core CPI annual inflation rate was 2.8% in September 2026, up from 2.6% in August. </p><p>The CPI all-goods index rose by 3.2% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 2.7% the previous month. The rate in September 2026 was the highest since September 2023.</p><p>The CPI all-services index rose by 3.7% in the 12 months to September 2026, up from 3.4% in the 12 months to August.</p><p>As with the all-items annual inflation rates, the drivers of CPIH and CPI goods and services inflation are the same (except for owner occupiers’ housing (OOH) costs and Council Tax, which are excluded from CPI). The drivers are discussed in more detail in <a>Section 4: Latest movements in CPIH inflation</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Figure 10 shows how each of the main groups of goods and services contributed to the change in the CPI annual inflation rate between August and September 2026.</p><p>The rate’s rise in September 2026 reflected upward contributions from six divisions, partially offset by downward contributions from four divisions. The largest upward contribution came from transport, particularly motor fuels. The largest offsetting downward contribution came from restaurants and hotels.</p><p>Though the sizes of the contributions differ from CPIH, the main drivers to the change are the same where they are common to both measures.</p><p>
</p><p>Figure 11 shows the extent to which the distinct categories of goods and services have contributed to the overall annual CPI inflation rate over the last two years.</p><p>The CPIH includes extra housing components not included in the CPI. This can sometimes result in the largest contributions to the annual CPI and CPIH inflation rates coming from different divisions. In September 2026, the largest contributing division to CPI was transport (0.94 percentage point contribution to the CPI rate), while the largest contributing division to CPIH was housing and household services (1.39 percentage point contribution to the CPIH rate). OOH costs made a large upward contribution to housing and household services in CPIH, but these are excluded from CPI.</p><p></p><p><a>Consumer price inflation tables</a><br> Dataset | Released 21 October 2026<br> Measures of monthly UK inflation data including the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH), Consumer Prices Index (CPI) and Retail Prices Index (RPI).

In any given month, the annual rate is determined by the balance between upward and downward price movements across the range of goods and services included in the index.</p><p>Consumer price inflation is the rate at which the prices of goods and services bought by households rise or fall. It is estimated by using price indices. An overview of the range of indices available and their uses, is available in our <a>Consumer price indices, a brief guide: 2026</a> and our <a>Measuring changing prices and costs for consumers and households: December 2023 article</a>.</p><p>The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) is the most comprehensive measure of inflation. It extends the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) to include a measure of the costs associated with owning, maintaining and living in one's own home, known as owner occupiers' housing (OOH) costs, along with Council Tax. Both are substantial expenses for many households and are not included in the CPI.</p><p>The CPI is a measure of consumer price inflation produced to international standards, and is based on European regulations for the <a>Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices</a>. The CPI is the inflation measure used in the government's target for inflation.</p><p>The CPI is produced at the same level of detail as the CPIH in our accompanying <a>Consumer price inflation dataset</a> and <a>Consumer price inflation time series</a>.</p><p>OOH costs are the costs of housing services associated with owning, maintaining and living in one's own home.</p><p>The Retail Prices Index (RPI) and its subcomponents do not meet the required standard for designation as <a>accredited official statistics</a>. In recognition that the index continues to be widely used in contracts, we continue to publish the RPI, its subcomponents, and RPI excluding mortgage interest payments (RPIX).</p><p>To view the all-items RPI, please see the <a>data time series section of the Inflation and price inLine truncated
