• What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit?

  At current interest rates the estimated balance of a £1,000 deposit would be £1,039.49 after 12 months (non leap year).

  Initial Deposit: £1,000
  Estimated Balance after 12 months: £1,039.49

  Initial Deposit: £250,000
  Estimated Balance after 12 months: £259,874.34

  Initial Deposit: £1,000,000
  Estimated Balance after 12 months: £1,039,497.45

  These examples are illustrative only and are based on the assumption that the initial deposit does not change throughout the period, there are no changes to the rate and interest is paid back into the 3 Month Reserve account on a monthly basis.
