    Well done, £100 of free money every month.

    I'm currently opening worth while accounts for my saving but I won't be anywhere near you.

    How much do you need to have spread across these accounts to receive £100pm??

    A quick estimate:
    £100 pm = £1200 pa
    times 20 (÷5%) = £24000
    The true averaged rate will be less than 5%, so over £24000 is needed.

    I make £200/ month tax free on Santander 123x3, TSBx4 and Tescox4, that's £2,400 a year. I could do better, but I'm lazy and I know it.
    TSB is a bit dodgy tho'.

    People laugh at me tho' when I tell them I get 3% on £3,000 in a Tesco account, they say but that's only £8/month, hardly worth the effort, then I see them working at weekends for the overtime.

    Then you tell them how a little work opening a few more accounts generates £2,400 extra annual income, whic at basic rate tax and NI they would need to earn about £3,500 extra, a whole load of overtime!

    Cheers fj

    Of course I forgot, you need the capital to fund these accounts in the first place.
