Savings planning

Make more informed decisions about your savings

Savings calculations answer different questions: how much interest could build up, how much you need to save towards a goal, and whether inflation or tax changes the result. Start with the decision that matters to you.

Start with your question

What to know before you calculate

AER and compound interest

AER expresses an annual equivalent interest rate, making savings accounts easier to compare when interest is compounded. The frequency and timing of interest payments can still affect how quickly credited interest becomes available and starts earning more interest.

Savings interest and tax

The Personal Savings Allowance depends on your income tax band, and other savings income may affect your position. A tax estimate is a starting point, not a substitute for checking your circumstances with HMRC.

Inflation and real returns

An account balance can rise even if purchasing power falls. Comparing the assumed savings rate with assumed inflation helps distinguish the pounds you may have from what those pounds might buy.
