Money-saving basics

Make your money work harder. Ad: affiliate links, how we earn

Build a cushion first

Many people aim for a few months of essential spending in easy-access savings before locking money away.

Beware headline rates

Look at how long a bonus rate lasts and what the rate becomes afterwards.

Check your protection

Authorised UK banks and building societies are usually covered by the FSCS up to a limit. Check the current limit and how it applies to you.

Check the FSCS

Use your ISA allowance

Interest on money in an ISA is tax-free. Check the current allowance and rules.

How we make money

These sites are free to use. Many links to flights, hotels, products and services are affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, the company may pay us a commission. It never adds to the price you pay.

We work with affiliate networks such as Travelpayouts. We don't charge companies to be listed, and partners can't pay to change our tips or advice. Commission can affect which companies appear on the site.

Prices and availability shown by partners change quickly, so always check the final price before you book. Fares and prices shown on our pages may be cached and out of date.

Our money, energy and broadband pages give general information and simple calculators only. They are not financial advice, and we don't currently compare insurance, loans or other regulated financial products.

What we collect

Other companies

Some content loads straight from other companies, who can see your IP address when it does: fonts from Google Fonts, photos from Wikipedia and Wikimedia, and partner search widgets. When you click an affiliate link, the partner and the affiliate network (for example Travelpayouts) record the visit so we can be paid. Their own privacy policies apply from that point.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to how it is used. Use the contact form or write to us. If you are unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
