About this calculator
The balance grows through monthly compounding. If you choose start of month timing, the monthly contribution is added before interest for that month, which gives a slightly higher outcome than end of month where interest is applied first. An optional annual uplift increases your monthly contribution on each anniversary which mirrors common savings habits.
The schedule shows month-by-month progression so you can see how contributions and interest interact. Use this for ISA planning, emergency funds or long term goals. Treat results as guidance, as banks may compound using slightly different timetables.
