: Hi Rod in your reply on this matter you said:-
: ..... I have created a spreadsheet covering the period from November 1982 to today. It shows the changes in RPI and IBM pension. The pension varies a bit, but it's close to 70%. If I can master the technology, I'll make it available to all.

: My question is does this take into account the 18th month stretches between some increases?

Hi Brian, the original spreadsheet didn't worry about the intervals between rises. But I created a new one, assuming 70% rises in April every year since 1982. The end figure seems to come out almost exactly the same.
