British families could be £2,400 worse off in real terms by the end of 2027 as renewed fighting between the United States and Iran threatens to keep energy prices high and deepen the cost-of-living squeeze.

The figure is not a direct bill or guaranteed cash loss. It is the Centre for Economics and Business Research's estimate of how much lower the average household's real income could be compared with a world in which the conflict had not occurred.
