What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

This estimation assumes your account is opened with an initial deposit of £1,000. No additional deposits or withdrawals are made, interest is paid gross and added to the account on 5 April, and there is no change to the interest rate.

  • The balance after 12 months based on an initial deposit of £1,000 with an interest rate of 3.85% Tax Free / AER (variable) would be £1,038.61

This estimation is only an example and does not take into account individual circumstances.
