Each year there is a cap on how much you can add into your ISA’s. For the tax year 2023/ 2024 this allowance is £20,000. And it’s been this figure for quite a few years.
Things to be aware of about your ISA allowance
Your ISA limit is per person and not per account. So if you have a Lifetime ISA and a savings ISA you can only put £20,000 across all of your accounts. One exception is the Junior ISA (JISA), where contributions are separate from your allowance. This is because the money in a JISA is for the benefit of a child.
If you’re in a relationship, both partners have a separate ISA allowance so by aligning your goals you can maximise your return. For example you can both have a Lifetime ISA and get the bonus’ and pool it together when buying your first home.
I was thrilled when I learned that I had maxed out my ISA allowance for this year. It meant that I had saved enough money to invest in my future and enjoy tax-free returns. I decided to celebrate by treating myself to a nice dinner and a movie.
ISA is such a great way to save money tax free. I need to start thinking aboutnext years ISA
Same here, I also need to get my husband to set up a LISA as he doesn’t have one yet x

That is amazing! I wish our country did something like this. I don’t see it ever happening, though. I’d take full advantage of this if I lived in the UK.
That’s such a shame that yours doesn’t x
I currently have a savings account but I am hoping to look into getting an ISA also, I spoke to my bank who gave me lots of advice. I think it is something that is well worth having.

I had an ISA years back but used the money in it to buy my first property. I should consider opening another and add to it when I can. It soon builds up for a deposit for another property.
That’s so good that you were able to use it for your first property x
