The Money Saving Expert Regular Saver is a savings product that offers competitive interest rates (up to 7.5% as of September 2025) for regular monthly deposits. It helps savers maximize returns through compound interest.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the future value of annuity formula:

\[ FV = PMT \times \left[ \frac{(1 + r / n)^{n \times t} - 1}{r / n} \right] \]

\( FV \) — Future Value (GBP)
\( PMT \) — Periodic Payment (GBP per period)
\( r \) — Annual Interest Rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Compounding Periods Per Year (unitless)
\( t \) — Time in Years (years)
