    Have you used your ISA allowance? That's the obvious place to start, as the interest is tax free. As for whether to fix it or not then that's a market call. I have some savings fixed and others not. Regular savers can sometimes pay better rates, but it depends on the product.

    Have a look at the threads on best cash isas and savings rates.
