Interest on savings
Interest rates can change. You can check current interest rates online at any time.
Explaining some common terms
AER
The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) helps you to understand how much interest you could earn from your savings in a year. It also makes it easier to compare accounts.
AER includes the effect of compound interest – essentially the interest you earn on top of any interest that’s already part of your savings balance.
Tax free
You don’t usually need to pay tax on interest earned on:
- ISAs
- Kids accounts.
Adults can earn a certain amount of tax-free interest on their savings each year, depending on your:
- Starting rate for savings or personal savings allowance.
- Personal earnings allowance.
- Annual ISA allowance.
Gross
This is the percentage of interest you’ll earn on savings, pre-tax. Halifax won’t take off any tax due, so you’ll need to declare and pay anything you owe to HM Revenue and Customs.
Frequently asked questions
-
It really depends on the terms of your ISA. It’s important to check the terms carefully before you take money out of a cash ISA.
Some accounts, like the Halifax ISA Saver Variable, let you withdraw at any time. However, most fixed ISA accounts could issue a charge or void your agreement entirely if you take out money.
-
You can only put money into one cash ISA with us in a tax year, but you can also pay into any other ISA for which you are eligible in each tax year.
-
Some easy access accounts have variable interest rates based on market conditions.
A fixed rate account might offer a higher rate of interest that’s fixed for a set period. Your returns could be better, but these accounts tend to be less flexible. For example, charges may apply if you withdraw money earlier than planned.
