I’m happy today! £300 (2x 50, 2x 100), Holding £43K. Best win of the year and since June last year when I got the £500 prize.
That takes me upto £1,150 for the year so far with 3 draws remaining, probably now at the lower end of average returns.Save £12,000 in 2024: £17,500 out of £12,000.Save £12,000 in 2025: £0 out of £12,000.0 -

Help to save for someone with 50k premium bonds?strawb_shortcake said:£125 on max holding, the last 12 months puts me at 3.05% not bad but could have been better I guess.
On the plus side hubby and I get our final Help to save bonuses this month, next years holiday fund sorted.2 -
One of us is getting the maths wrong (could well be me) - because I make your annualised yield to be more like 4.66%? 3.5% PA would give rise to an average monthly return of £145.83 (i.e. £1,750 for the full year) on full holding - and you're running at more than that - at £194.44 monthly average to date - for 9 months.Hoenir said:Jan - £250
