Am I misunderstanding interest rates on regular saver?

And where exactly did I state anything to the contrary, hmmm?

That was aimed at you... more a general point for the people who may be about to post the same question of another provider...

cerebros,

If you look at the top of this page you'll see a search facility. Select "search chat forum" and then enter "barclays regular saver" in the search field.

You'll see that 25 results are returned - and this thread, being the most recent, is at the top of the list.

You're very optimistic in thinking they will find and read this thread before posting.

As pointed out on several of the other threads, this is quite a useful calculator. Of course, you need to use the drop-down menu options as appropriate.

For instance, the calculator gives the answer to the quoted scenario as £3203.12 for a non-taxpayer (i.e gross) or £3162.50 for a basic rate 20% taxpayer.

(NB Of course, this assumes identical deposit amounts at the beginning of all months).

I did that and could see nothing discussing the issue I'm looking at which is why I posted in the first place.

OK yes I know its unlikely that they will have the same person in charge, even if their interest is calculated the same way...

The principle is the same.

It seems to me that there is far too much tetchiness and impatience on the boards these days.
