Step by step

  1. Open Lifetime ISA Calculator

    Visit /uk/tools/uk-lisa in any modern browser. The tool loads instantly and runs entirely on your device, so no inputs are transmitted to a server.

  2. Gather your inputs

    Have your annual contribution, years to home, return rate ready. Accuracy on the output depends entirely on the quality of these numbers. If a value is uncertain, use the most realistic figure rather than rounding aggressively.

  3. Enter the values

    Fill each field in turn. Lifetime ISA Calculator validates ranges as you type, so an obvious typo (for example a negative balance where one cannot exist) will flag immediately.

  4. Read the result

    The output is a lifetime isa balance with 25% bonus, computed using compound growth plus government bonus per year. Treat it as a precise answer to the question you posed, not an approximation.

  5. Verify and compare

    Re-run the calculation with a slightly different input to test sensitivity. For deeper comparison against another approach, see related tools in the UK Finance hub or pick a related lifetime isa tool below.
