More about savings accounts
Long gone are the days of stashing cash under the mattress when saving up for a rainy day.
These days, the high street banks and building societies offer a range of different accounts to suit all of your savings needs, whether that's putting away a lump sum, regular instalments, or just a bit here and there.
You can choose to access your money whenever you like or tie it up for a period of time to get a higher interest rate. You can also choose to keep your money safe or to speculate on the stock market. Beware though, with the latter option, you stand to lose as well as gain.
When you're comparing different accounts, the AER - or Annual Equivalent Rate - is the yearly interest rate percentage that you receive. Interest rates are usually calculated on a daily basis and your return is generated pro rata, meaning if you have some money in the account for a whole year and some for just six months, the two amounts will accrue interest separately.
Both fixed and variable interest rates are available.
The interest you receive on a savings account is subject to tax, just like any other money you earn, using the same calculation scale. So if you're a high earner you'll pay more tax on your interest. The tax is taken off automatically when your interest is paid. ISA stands for Independent Savings Account - in these types of accounts tax isn't payable, but you can only pay in a certain amount each year.
