Our tool explores the use of different goods and services (or “products”), by UK industries.

It can be used to understand which industries are the biggest users of a selected product in their production.

In some personal news, today was my last day at ONS for 5 months. I'm off on parental leave with the little one! There'll be less vis and stats from me for a bit while I work on my nursery rhyme repertoire but follow me for the occasional PL update.

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

@Kath_Torney Thanks Kathryn see you soon!

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

@CarlaOnion How about data vis about parental leave?

We’ve updated our personal inflation calculator 🖩

Use it to calculate your own personal inflation experience based on what you spend your money on.

Did you know more people living in London worked in computer programming than in finance at the time of Census 2021? This plus other interesting insights into local industry changes in our latest article from me and @Annaekhoo https://t.co/wmeremlcQq

Striking chart showing change in people out of the workforce because of long-term sickness - up almost 500,000 since 2019.

We’ve more to learn about what is behind this, but ageing workforce, COVID, NHS waiting lists and even home working could play a role.

Amazing that this @ONS tool to calculate "personal inflation" has been developed (i.e. a better estimate of how much prices are rising for you personally, rather than average person). And importantly, it has now been embedded on @BBCNews website, to reach more people.👏

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

@Deven_Ghelani Hi Devan, you can access up to date inflation data through the ONS API which is what this tool does. Details about that can be found here: https://t.co/v8juI0TjQq

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

Our new and improved inflation calculator is live today. See how the cost of living rise is affecting you, and find out what is causing your costs to increase.

We’ve updated our personal inflation calculator, which can be used to calculate your own personal inflation experience based on what you spend your money on.

@R_McDonald_ If you haven't seen these yet worth checking out this release that covers inflation rate estimates for different household incomes https://t.co/SbhbjsoJit

@JohnnyRunge @ONS Thanks Johnny!

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

Calling all twitter users! We're planning an update to our personal inflation calculator in the coming weeks and are looking for your feedback. Help us develop our tool by trying out our prototype (https://t.co/1LPnsOmbZT) and leaving us some feedback (https://t.co/RG3CbTawCs)

[Sam Bennett @samdbennett]

Really proud to have worked on this piece with @palmerthree @StatsAinslieONS on how people are responding to rising costs. There's so much in this data and plenty more to come from us over the coming months.

[Office for National Statistics (ONS) @ONS]

We’ve also used a larger pool of data (30 March to 19 June 2022) to examine what actions people are taking to combat the rising cost of living in a separate article 📈 https://t.co/722ReuDXhv
