How CPI is worked out

How CPI is worked out

Each year, we adjust the prices of our products and services in-line with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation, plus 3.9%.

When we work out our prices, we use the December CPI rate published in January. For December 2023, the CPI rate was 4.0%. This means that the majority of our customers will see a price increase of 7.9% (which is 4.0% plus 3.9%), or around £3 per month on average. These price changes take effect on or after the 31 March 2024.

FAQs

FAQs

What is CPI?

CPI is the most used and reliable measure to track inflation – it compares the cost of a selection of goods (food, clothes, travel etc.) from one year to the next. A new rate is published monthly by the Office for National Statistics, and we always use the December rate, published in January, for our price change.

There’s lots more info on CPI on the Office for National Statistics website.

Why is EE increasing prices?

We know that your home relies on a brilliant connection. Whether it’s through your mobile or broadband service, it’s more important than ever to keep everyone and everything connected. Our annual price change helps us continue to invest to bring you a better, more reliable experience and the best value for your money. It’s also important as our own costs continue to increase, so the price change means we can continue to maintain the best networks and provide customer service in more ways than ever before.

How does the 2024 price change affect me?

We'll send you an email, an SMS or a letter to explain what this means for you. We’re sending these communications out between the start of February and mid-March. In there, you’ll find a personalised explanation of what’s happening to your plan(s).

If you’d like to work out the increase to any of the plans on your account, you can use our handy price calculator. You can also use this to calculate any increases to your impacted add-ons and out-of-bundle charges. We apply the increase to all elements individually and then add them all together. Due to rounding you may see a slight difference between your actual price shown on your bill and the price shown in your notification or calculator. This difference shouldn’t be more than a few pennies a month and the amount on your bill is the final and correct charge. You can log into ee.co.uk to see more information on your price plan.

What is an add-on?

An add-on is a package of minutes, messages, data or services you can buy. Our mobile add-ons will be increasing in line with the CPI rate of inflation published in January, plus 3.9%.

You can find details of any active add-ons you may have on your latest EE bill or in EE app. Add-ons for consumer plans can be found here:

What is an out-of-bundle charge?

As part of your price plan you’ll get a call, text and data allowance. There are restrictions on where and how you use these e.g., calls will be restricted to UK mobile networks and UK landlines starting with 01, 02 & 03.

When you go over or outside of these limits you’ll be charged according to our standard rates. These are also known as “out-of-bundle” charges such as calling to and from abroad. These will be increasing by the CPI rate of inflation published in January, plus 3.9%.

Our out-of-bundle charges for consumer plans can be found here:

Will my spend cap be impacted?

How can I find my terms and conditions?

You can find your EE terms and conditions here.

Small business plans terms and conditions are here.

How have you calculated the increases?

The price change is in-line with your terms and conditions which are linked to CPI. The increase is calculated using the December CPI rate (published in January), plus 3.9%, and adding this % amount to the price of your plan.

The change to the price you pay for your plan(s) will take account of discounts you get. A higher price increase may be incurred if your discounts expire, and your monthly price goes up before the increase is applied. We apply the increase to all elements individually and then add them all together. Due to rounding you may see a slight difference between your actual price shown on your bill and the price shown in your notification or calculator. This difference shouldn’t be more than a few pennies a month and the amount on your bill is the final and correct charge. You can log into ee.co.uk to see more information on your price plan.

Your add-ons and out-of-bundle charges will be also be increasing in-line with the December CPI rate of inflation published in January, plus 3.9%.

When does this change happen?

The increase to your monthly price plan(s), add-ons, out-of-bundle charges will take place on or after 31 March. You will be able to see your new charges starting from your bill on or after 31 March.

What happens if I upgrade?

When you decide to upgrade, you’ll be advised about how the annual price increase will impact your price plan and other products. All customers upgrading will be subject to a CPI plus 3.9% increase based on their terms and conditions.

What happens if I’m an EE Mobile Pay As You Go customer?
