ISA Interest

Can you please help? I'm trying to fully understand how the ISA works in relation to investments. I understand that the maximun amount I can invest in a cash ISA in 1 year is £3600. If I invest the total amount at the begining of a tax year, when my interest is caluculated throughout the year, is it only based on the initial £3600, or is it cumulative i.e. the interest calculated on the total amount (£3600 plus each of the previous tax receipts)?

Hope you can clarify

Boyo

    It is.
    And you can do 3.6 each tax year plus whatever interest you receive from previous years.
