Junior ISA worked example

Junior ISA: £100 per month to age 18

If a parent invests £100 per month from birth to age 18, this model projects about £34,000 before fees beyond the 0.25% assumption.

Static example 5% return, 0.25% fee Updated

Short answer

£100/month could become roughly £34,000 by 18

Total contributions would be £21,600. With 5% annual growth, a 0.25% annual fee assumption, and no starting balance, the projected Junior ISA value is £34,040 nominally, or about £21,825 in today's money using 2.5% inflation.
