[@seant6731]

The £500/£1000 tax free interest per tax band, needs to be increased. It’s outdated / too low.

[@stephenderbyshire7849]

I don't think I have heard Martin mention that the basic rate for savings is £5,000, if your other income is between £0 and £12,750, meaning you can earn £5,000 in savings interest before tax kicks in. From £12,750 to £17, 750 you can still earn £5,000 worth of savings interest, but every pound over the £12,750 eats into the basic £5,000 rate, so if your income, other than savings, was, say, £15,000, you would have used £2,250 of the £5,000 (from12,750 to 15,000) that you are allowed, leaving £2,750 (15,000 to 17,750) still tax free. Over £17,750 worth of income, gives you £1,000 worth of tax free savings allowance, but you can way up earning more than the £1,000 against the saving rates; HMRC just change your tax code to allow for that.y

[@howhistory5877]

Which ever way you look at it, the value of your money is being lost hand over fist due to inflation. Also if inflation was 10% last year it only needs to be around 7-8% this year for goods to go up the same amount, then 5-6% the following year for the same effect. Yet they sell it as a 'reduction' in prices' Conned every way you can think of - Even the air is taxed now!!!!

There is a recession, they just haven't announced it because it will cause many to stop spending and make it much worse. I go on RightMove every day (I am a developer) and all you see is prices 'reduced today'. Many builders I know have no work lined up, are losing jobs that were booked months ago. I'm also into restoring classic cars and they are not selling, unless stupid low prices. These are a luxury, but even so, many every day items as 'treats' are not selling either and people are tightening their belts. You can thanks lock downs, furlough payments, and idiot scumbag politicians for funding migrants, the Ukraine war (which we should NEVER have become involved) and other ventures that destroy the economy.

Well obviously it doesn’t impact anyone on screen 😂 who are millionaires. Don’t get me wrong I like Martin as he explains the complex financial world that most can understand. Bet there is another rise this year. Even I know NS&I is giving the best rate for a year. 👍 That £1000 tax free is pitiful and needs to go to £10k. People work hard to save and paid tax already most of the time working for it. It’s time our government that works so called for us gave us a break. Working out Tax is too complicated for most pensioners and families try there best to look after loved ones accounts, what they going to do chase down 70 year plus for not paying the right tax. Martin could restructure our tax and savings laws than the clueless we have.

[@macsmith6216]

[@kevinsyd2012]

Before the wave of rate hikes you needed ca £100,000 in a savings account to receive more than £1,000 in interest. So effectively nobody paid interest on their savings. Why increase to £10K? It just seems like a random figure you've plucked out of the air.

I don’t understand people that save cash in their current accounts. The interest earned is nearly none existent. Their money is eaten away by inflation day after day. Personally I invest in the stock market but bonds are another option. At least get yourself a higher interest account! Gold and silver are also a great way to hedge against inflation. Do your research first. Nobody should be saving or investing while they are paying off high interest debt. Sort that out first 👍

[@CrazyTobster]

No, they don't. Not the ones who know what they're doing. The S&P 500 is volatile, but it consistently trends upward. Over 20 years, throughout history, everyone has seen gains; no one has incurred losses. This likely holds true for all major index funds like the Nasdaq. I'm focusing on the S&P 500 because it's the most renowned and has a long enough track record to confidently assert that historically, everyone has profited from it if they haven't withdrawn their investment for 15 to 20 years. You'll almost certainly see gains after just 5 years. However, the sweetest spot for most people is the 20-year mark, where they tend to maximize their profits, probably because we can't live forever. :-)

[@rvp589]

I must be missing something... 6.2 less 20% tax equates to 4.96% which means you pay tax and after paying tax you still earn more in interest nett than most cash ISA... The real question is....WHY DO CASH ISAs pay such a low rate... for what reason?????? Where do you get 3.5% from !!!!. In addition you can have £1000 of interest tax free... also its counted as income which means if its your only income then you can save upto the tax threshold plus the 1000 without paying tax on it.

[@caldwellfisher5288]

@@a1white £3.37 is a metaphor for how little it matters. Its the difference between the "rate" you have already got /or found, (the average bank rate even ) against what ever it is he waffles on about at any given moment or topic.. I.E the difference is not worth getting your nickers in a twist about. Especially if you have a spare few grand knocking about. Its the equivalent of saving up money off tokens and researching for hours to get 10p off a tin of beans.

[@Griff_JR]

That's it Martin, tell everyone to go open fixed rate accounts, again and again until we see rates drop...... That won't swamp the bank systems or the poor handful of analysts having to process all these requests. So as with the "everyone go submit energy readings" a while back. The system won't cope well, people will see big delays in those requests and other requests to existing accounts and what will the magnificent Mr Lewis do... Blame the banks for not being able to handle the influx of requests.
