Price rises will remain in double digits into next year, the Bank of England is forecasting, extending the cost-of-living crisis.
Inflation is expected to peak at 11 per cent in October – down from previous forecasts of 13 per cent.
But because of rising energy bills, overall price rises will remain above 10 per cent for the next few months before starting to slow.

The calculator can estimate how much someone’s monthly spend has increased over the past year, show how this compares with previous years, break down which items are rising the most quickly. The calculator is here:
