Additional information

AER stands for annual equivalent rate. This shows you what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

Gross is the rate of interest paid before any tax (where applicable) has been deducted.

1. Thanks to the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA), basic rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 in interest each tax year without having to pay income tax on it. Higher rate (40%) taxpayers can earn up to £500 interest without paying income tax on it, while additional rate (45%) taxpayers aren't entitled to any PSA at all. The value of any tax benefits depends upon your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.
