Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 1 April 2026

1. About this website

CompoundWise (compoundwise.co.uk) provides free compound interest calculators and educational content about saving, investing, and financial planning. By using this website, you agree to these terms.

2. Not financial advice

CompoundWise is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Nothing on this website constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

The calculators, projections, scenarios, and educational content on this site are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only. They are based on hypothetical assumptions (such as constant rates of return) and do not reflect the actual performance of any investment product.

You should not make any financial decisions based solely on information from this website. If you require financial advice tailored to your personal circumstances, you should consult an independent financial adviser authorised by the FCA.

3. Calculator accuracy and limitations

The compound interest calculators on this site produce estimates only. They assume constant rates of return, which do not occur in real-world investing. Actual investment returns fluctuate and may be significantly higher or lower than modelled.

The calculators do not account for:

  • Investment fees, platform charges, or fund management costs
  • Tax (unless specifically stated — e.g. ISA calculations assume tax-free wrappers)
  • Market volatility or the risk of capital loss
  • Changes to tax rules, allowances, or regulations
  • Individual personal or financial circumstances

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest.

4. Investment risk warning

Capital at risk. All investing carries risk. The value of your investments can fall as well as rise. You may lose some or all of the money you invest. You should not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

Different investment types carry different levels of risk. Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending carries particularly high risk, including the risk of total capital loss. P2P investments are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

5. Affiliate links and commercial relationships

This website contains affiliate links to third-party investment platforms. When you click these links and open an account, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence the content of our calculators, educational articles, or scenario descriptions. However, the selection of platforms featured on this site may be influenced by commercial relationships.

We clearly label affiliate links with "Affiliate" badges and disclose the commercial relationship in the platforms section of each page. The presence of an affiliate link does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of any platform or product.

6. Third-party websites

This site contains links to third-party websites (including investment platforms). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or services of these external sites. You access them at your own risk and should review their own terms and conditions.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CompoundWise and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from:

  • Your use of, or reliance on, the calculator results or content on this website
  • Any financial decisions you make based on information from this website
  • Any errors or inaccuracies in calculator outputs
  • Any losses from investments in products linked from this website
  • Service interruptions or technical failures

Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

8. Intellectual property

All content on this website — including text, design, code, calculators, and graphics — is owned by CompoundWise or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or republish our content without permission.

9. Accuracy of information

We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and up to date, including ISA allowances, tax thresholds, and pension rules. However, financial regulations change frequently. We do not guarantee that all information is current at the time you read it. Always verify important figures with official government sources (e.g. gov.uk, fca.org.uk).

10. Jurisdiction

This website is intended primarily for users in the United Kingdom. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you access this site from outside the UK, you do so at your own initiative. The information on this site may not be applicable to your jurisdiction, and you should seek local advice where appropriate.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
