Savings calculator
How much better off could you be?Do you know what rates you're getting on your savings?
Have you switched your savings recently?
If you don't, and you haven't, you're not alone. According to our research 40% of all savers have never switched their savings. Almost half don't even know what rate they're getting.*
But this is costing savers dearly.
Latest figures from the Bank of England for September 2019 suggest the average instant access savings rate is just 0.42% (including "unconditional bonuses").
Find out how much better off you could be with our savings calculator.
Get your £25 bonus
All you need to do is open an account by 17 June, then add £5,000 or more with a debit card and choose your savings products within 60 days. If your savings balance drops below £5,000 within the first six months of your qualifying deposit we reserve the right to reclaim the £25. Terms apply
What difference could a new rate make to your savings?
Please note this calculator assumes the interest rate doesn’t change, no further deposits or withdrawals are made and that interest is paid and compounded once each year. It also does not take into account the different types of savings products available with Active Savings. The value of your savings will depend upon personal circumstances, the rates available and options you choose.

What do AER and Gross mean?
AER (Annual Equivalent Rate)
Shows what the interest rate/expected profit rate would be if it was paid and compounded once each year. It helps you compare the rates on different savings products.
Gross
The interest rate without any tax removed. Interest/profits are paid gross. You are responsible for paying any tax due on interest/profits that exceed your Personal Savings Allowance to HM Revenue & Customs. Tax treatment can change.
Rates may be subject to change and depend on individual circumstances.

3. If you open an account within the Offer Period and also satisfy the criteria listed in clause 2, we will credit the cash hub in your account with £25 after the offer has closed and within one month of choosing your savings products. We’ll notify you by email once the £25 has been added.
