Saving Tool UK has made several updates for 2024/25, including tax rate changes, improved simulation accuracy, and a new Umbrella Calculator for contractors.
Saving Tool Advanced enhances personal finance management in the UK with deeper insights, improved simulations, and new features while remaining user-friendly.
Starting January 6, 2024, a 2% cut in National Insurance contributions affects 27 million UK employees, potentially saving up to £754 annually, despite an overall increased tax burden due to frozen tax bands.
Investing is accessible to everyone, helping combat inflation and potentially offering better returns than low-interest cash accounts, with options like high-interest accounts and stocks and shares ISAs available for various goals.
Stocks and shares ISAs can significantly outperform traditional savings accounts due to tax benefits and potential higher returns, although they come with investment risks and fees to consider.
