If in 1994 I had put £50 a month into a savings account what approx would I have received today?
I have roughly worked out to a figure based on 3% interest
Year 1 £600 amount accrued
year 5 £3281.04 "
year 10 £7084.67 "
year 15 £11494.12 "
Thankyou in advance

I've just done your year 1 to 5. You would need to receive 40% pa.
Years 5-10 you would need 17%
You have worked out very roughly it seems. 15 years at 3% pa is less than a grand.0 -
