Understanding Your Lifetime ISA

Government Bonus

You get a 25% bonus on contributions up to £4,000 per year. That's up to £1,000 free money from the government annually.

First Home Purchase

You can use your LISA for your first home purchase (up to £450,000 property value). Must have held account for at least 12 months.

Retirement Savings

Withdraw tax-free from age 60. Early withdrawals (except first home) incur a 25% penalty (effectively losing some of your own money).

Annual Allowance

You can contribute up to £4,000 per tax year into your LISA. This counts towards your overall £20,000 ISA allowance.

Interest Rates

Current best LISA rates range from 3.0% to 4.5% AER. Interest is tax-free and compounds over time.

Eligibility

You must be 18-39 to open a LISA. You can pay in until age 50, and withdraw from age 60.

This calculator provides estimates based on current LISA rules. Government bonus is paid monthly on contributions. Withdrawals for first home require account to be open for at least 12 months. Early withdrawals (except first home) incur a 25% penalty.
