    Well, according to my calcs: £2,791.53 interest on £20,000 over 5 years works out to be the 2.65% AER advertised.


    There must be something wrong with my calculator :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    20000 x 2.79% = 558 x 5 = ;)

    20000 x 2.65% = 530 x 5 = ;)

    . . .
    20,000 x 2.65% = £530 x 1 = the interest get in the first year.

    20,530 x 2.65% = £544 x 1 = the interest you get in the second year
    and so on . . :)

    Kazza242, this is a fantastic piece of work but would it be possible to also record if the ISAs are flexible or not?

    Thanks. Yes, I have been thinking about adding a new field to indicate whether an ISA is flexible or not. I had already added some info into the notes about this, but a separate field might make it clearer.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    Nottingham BS Easy Access ISA (issue 2) - 1.20%
    Rate guarantee? No. Rate effective from: 26/02/2018.
    Minimum deposit: £10. Operated via: Branch.
    Notes: This ISA can only be opened in branch
    if you invest your maximum allowance on 26 February 2019 and withdraw £500 on 5 March 2019, you would not be able to add any more to your account until 6 April 2019

    So this one is not flexible.
