• Calculators

Calculators

Our calculators will help you to plan ahead by working out estimated mortgage and loan repayments, meaning you will be better able to budget your money and more informed when it comes to choosing an interest rate which suits your individual needs.

The spare cash you have from budgeting would soon accumulate if you put it in a savings account, so why not use our savings calculator to work out how much money you will save over the years.

How to guides

The compareandsave.com how to guides have been especially designed with you in mind. They are comprehensive, but have been divided into sections so that the information you need is more accessible.

Our editors have tried to put themselves in your shoes, asking themselves, and others, what information would be needed when trying to, for example, save money on energy bills or when choosing a savings account.

Letter templates

We have also provided you with some letter templates to take the stress and effort out of an already stressful situation.

The letter templates are available to download for free. All you need to do is personalise them with your individual information and pop them in the post and the job is done.

Polls

At compareandsave.com, we care about how you handle your finances and about your opinions. This is why we run regular polls and report the results to you. You can find our latest polls and poll results here.

Who's who? *NEW*

Fed up with not knowing your FSA from your FSCS? Our 'Who's who?' section will tell you all about the key figures in the world of personal finance, including their responsibilities and how to contact them for further help and information.

Glossary *NEW*

The world of personal finance is full of complicated terms, with abbreviations here and acronyms there. Our glossary will explain these technical terms very simply so that you can make more informed decisions. Knowledge is power, and we aim to give you the power back.

Other resources

In this section you will find miscellaneous tools which we think will also be of some help to you when managing your personal finances.
