Depends which ISA you deposit your cash in to....
Basically you will earn £105 per year interest if using the 2 year fixed rate ISA paying 3.5%
Or £90 for the one year fixed rate ISA
Or £99 for the flexible rate ISA which pays 2.8% above bank rate guaranteed for 12 months. This one does not accept transfers from existing Cash ISA's0 -
so how much per month mate, i dont like this percentage stuff?0

In the same order monthly interest will be:-
£8.75 Gross or £7.00 Net
£7.50 Gross or £6.00 Net
£8.25 Gross or £6.60 Net
The amounts may vary month to month as I think Santander and many other banks vary their monthly interest according to how many days in that particular calendar month0 -

Do you actually want the money to be paid out to you each month?
If you just want to "think" about how much is being added to your account, do you do division? If so take those yearly amounts and divide by 12.
If you want the amount to be paid out to you, ask Santander staff and see what they say.0 -

Careful - it's an ISA so you don't need to calculate the amount after tax.0 -

Whoops, I don't do ISA's... Living outside UK and not really happy with deposit savings rates anyway so my wonga goes into shares & funds mostly.

what do you mean by paid out to me?, can't you be paid monthly and it just means you gain interest monthly?0 -

That rate is 4.5% fixed till 2016, to pull out you incur a £30 charge as info from website states below.
Why invest in a 5 year ISA if you want the money out in first few months?
Making withdrawals
The Cash ISA Fixed Rate Bond is designed for savers who don’t need to access their funds before 29th April 2016. If you withdraw your money before that date, you will have to pay an early withdrawal charge of minimum £30 and the account will be closed.0 -
