Annual variable rate used to calculate prize fund for monthly draws. The odds of each £1 Bond number winning a prize in the monthly draw will be 22,000-1 (currently 21,000-1). |
* Gross is the taxable rate of interest payable without the deduction of UK Income Tax.
** AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) enables you to compare interest rates from different financial institutions on a like-for-like basis. It shows what the notional annual rate would be if interest was compounded each time it was credited or paid out. Where interest is credited once a year the rate quoted and the AER will be the same.
*** Tax-free means that the return is exempt from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
† No longer in use.
