Richard - That's the thing really, one amount is different to the other, in 
order to get the figure right for purpose, I need to know which one to use -

  Andy, You can use whichever you wish.  My understanding is that RPI differs 
from CPI in that it contains housing costs, which CPI does not.  That means 
that RPI is currently higher than CPI.  From memory RPI is currently just over 
5%.

  Thanks Richard, had looked there, but wasn't sure if to use the     RPI OR 
CPI for my calculation, it suggests RPI but says the government since 2003, 
have used CPI to calculate inflation -

    Hi all -

    I'm trying to discover what an amount in 2007 is worth today, using the RPI 
only. My Google searches have found certain websites that have calculator 
tools, but I'm not convinced I'm getting the correct result from what I am 
doing, or from how they are calculating.

    Does anybody have the ability to make this kind of calculation, or know of 
a strait forward website that can do this for me?

    Thanks -

    Andy
