Cash ISA Calculator 2027

See what the new Cash ISA limit means for your savings

Compare how much new cash you can shelter under current rules and from 6 April 2027, then estimate any extra tax if the rest sits outside a Cash ISA.

From 6 April 2027

If you are under 65, the annual Cash ISA limit falls to £12,000.00. If you are 65 or over, it stays £20,000.00. Existing Cash ISA balances are not forced out. This calculator compares current rules with the April 2027 rules.

New money only. Do not include money already sitting in an ISA.

Why these figures differ

About £8,000 of new savings may sit outside a Cash ISA from April 2027, but your tax-free savings allowance still covers the estimated interest, so extra tax looks £0.

You may still have about £8,000.00 of overall ISA allowance left for a Stocks and Shares ISA. This estimate assumes overflow stays in a normal taxable savings account.

Estimate for new annual contributions only. Existing ISA balances are not removed by the April 2027 limit. For tax on savings interest in more detail, use the Savings Tax Calculator.
