Why Financial Calculators Matter

Understanding compound interest is the single most important financial lesson for young people. Our calculators show you exactly how money grows over time - no complex jargon, just real numbers.

What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is when your money earns interest, and then that interest earns interest too. It's like a snowball rolling down a hill - it starts small but grows bigger and faster as it goes.

Why Start Investing Young?

Time is your biggest advantage. A 15-year-old who invests £250/month until 65 could have over £2 million. Wait until 25? That drops to under £1 million. The 10-year wait costs you over £1 million.

UK Investment Basics

In the UK, you can invest tax-free using an ISA (Individual Savings Account). The 2025/26 allowance is £20,000. For teens, a Junior ISA allows £9,000/year. All growth is completely tax-free.
