Retail price index definition
- Measured both monthly and annually, the RPI looks at the retail price of goods and services including everything from gas and housing prices to the cost of food, travel and household items. It serves as a strong indicator of changes in the inflation rate and is used to evaluate the necessary adjustments required for wages, pensions and tax allowances, which are inflation-indexed.
