Getting a useful answer

A few things worth knowing before you read too much into any single number these calculators produce.

  • 01

    Check the rate before you act

    The tool shows the rate and quarter used for government schemes. Confirm the latest rate and product terms with the provider before opening an account.

  • 02

    Compare when you receive the money

    Some products pay interest during the term; others add it to the balance or pay it at maturity. Choose what fits your need for income or savings.

  • 03

    Allow for tax and limits

    Eligibility, deposit limits and tax treatment can change what you receive. Read the notes on the calculator and check the scheme rules.
