2 thoughts on “ISA Growth Calculator: See Your Savings Potential

    1. For Inheritance Tax (IHT) purposes, it doesn’t matter whether your ISA gains are earned or unearned. What counts is the total value of the ISA on the date of your death — including the original capital, any contributions, and any growth (capital gains, interest, or dividends).

      While ISAs are tax-efficient during your lifetime (shielding you from income tax and capital gains tax), they don’t offer protection from inheritance tax. Unless the ISA is inherited by a spouse or civil partner—who can benefit from an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS)—the full value, including any growth, may be subject to IHT if your estate exceeds the threshold.
