This is based on: 

  • No further money being put in or taken out of the account. 
  • No change to the interest rate. 
     

This calculation is for guidance only, to show you what a future balance could look like. It does not consider your individual circumstances.

  • You can open the account in branch or at an agency. 
  • You must keep at least £1 (the minimum balance) in the account.

Service charges and costs may apply to the account. These are set out in our Tariff of Charges. 

If the total amount of interest you earn is more than your tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, you may have to pay tax directly to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). For more information, visit gov.uk.

Children are not exempt from paying tax. If the total amount of interest earned by a child is more than their tax-free Personal Savings Allowance, they may have to pay tax directly to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). If a child earns more than £100 in interest during this tax year from money given by a parent, the parent may also have to pay tax. For more information, visit gov.uk.

Additional information

*Gross interest is the rate of interest before income tax is deducted at the rate set by law.
†AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
^Tax-free means the interest you earn isn't subject to UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and could change in future.
