About these calculators

Borrowing and saving work the same way in reverse: interest either costs you or earns for you, month after month. These calculators show both sides with your own figures, from paying off a card to how a pension pot could grow.

In September 2026 the Bank of England's average rates were 24.71% on credit cards, 6.98% on a £10,000 personal loan and 2.06% on instant-access savings. Inflation was 3.5% in the year to September 2026, so savings earning less than that are losing buying power.

You can save up to £20,000 a year in ISAs without tax on the interest or growth. If you're paying off debts, the debt payoff calculator compares paying the highest rate first with the smallest balance first; if money's tight, free advice from StepChange or Citizens Advice is a better first step than a new loan. It's confidential and won't affect your credit score.
