ISA, income tax & gains

Ok I've read many of the threads etc . but roughly in cash or percentage terms, what kind of differences are we talking  about? As I currently only work part time and take home about £2000 a year , I still seem to be paying some income tax . Not sure why I thought I wouldn't as isn't it below my personal allowance? Can anyone explain that?

Can anyone give me a clear example of the percentage gain - compared with non ISA investment accouints - to be made eg on each thousand invested - via an ISA if a tax payer? I don't have much income obviously but seem to be paying income tax,  though also have some savings.
