What is a step-up savings plan?
Small increases. Surprisingly big results.
A step-up savings plan means you save a little more each period. Start with 1p on day one, 2p on day two, 3p on day three — and so on. Each step is tiny, but the total builds faster than you'd expect.
Save 1p a day for a full year and you'll set aside £667.95. Do the same weekly and it's £13.78 — virtually painless. It's one of the most beginner-friendly ways to build a real savings habit.
Our free Step-Up Savings Calculator lets you model any starting amount, frequency, and duration — and see a full period-by-period breakdown instantly.
