How the Calculator Works

Compound Growth

The calculator uses 6% annual growth (typical for diversified index funds) compounded monthly over time.

Tax Relief (SIPPs)

Junior SIPPs get 25% tax relief from the government (e.g., £2,880 contribution → £3,600 total).

Tax-Free Growth

Both Junior ISAs and SIPPs grow tax-free - no income tax or capital gains tax on investment returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 6% a realistic growth rate?

Yes, 6% is a conservative estimate for a diversified global index fund over 10+ years. Historical returns for the FTSE Global All Cap Index average around 8-10% annually, but we use 6% to be conservative.

What's the difference between Junior ISA and Junior SIPP?

Junior ISAs are tax-free savings accounts accessible at age 18, with a £9,000/year limit. Junior SIPPs are children's pensions with 25% tax relief but accessible only at age 57+, with a £2,880/year contribution limit (£3,600 with tax relief). Read our full comparison.

How much can I pay into a Junior SIPP each year?

The annual Junior SIPP allowance is £2,880 of your own money per tax year. The government automatically adds 25% basic-rate tax relief on top, bringing the total invested to £3,600 a year.

Can I have both a Junior ISA and Junior SIPP?

Yes! Many parents use both - a Junior SIPP for long-term retirement savings (with tax relief) and a Junior ISA for shorter-term goals accessible at 18.

How is tax relief calculated for Junior SIPPs?

The government adds 25% (basic rate tax relief) to contributions. For example, if you contribute £240/month (£2,880/year), the government adds £720/year, making the total £3,600. This bonus also grows over time. Learn more about tax relief.
