    So, I'm pondering something, and I don't know where to find the numbers
    to work it out. What I want to do is establish how much money now would
    give the equivalent buying power that 10K did in 2001.

    I'm guessing there must be a quick and dirty online calculator for this
    kind of thing... any ideas?

    What's happened to your Google mojo, then?

    In 2005, £10,000.00 from 2001 was worth:

    £11,079.62 using the retail price index
    £11,145.71 using the GDP deflator
    £11,626.79 using average earnings
    £12,060.55 using per capita GDP
    £12,284.16 using the GDP

    Of course, entering 2007 instead of 2005 and getting the correct values
    that you require is left as an exercise for the reader.

    Office for National Statistics is your best bet, I would think.

    Not an online calculator, but the data you'd need is here, especially
    p7 (OK, so it only goes back to 2002, but you can't have
    everything...):

    If you go to table 3.1 on p.15 of this you will find cpi from Jan 1996
    to May 2007. This and a calculator should give the answer to the ginger
    ones question.
