    No, my figures are not valid for adding the money gradually during the year. As I said they assumed you put the maximum amount in at the start of the year. If you add it gradually throughout the year the interest earned will be a lot lower. That's because the money has spent less time in the account.

    For example you could not put £5340 in the day before the end of the year and expect to receive the entire 4.5% interest on it the very next day.
