  • How your allowance splits across ISA types
  • Your Lifetime ISA 25% government bonus
  • Warnings if you exceed any limit
  • How much you can still add before 5 April

This tracker is a guide only and not financial advice. The £20,000 ISA allowance and £4,000 Lifetime ISA limit reflect current UK rules for tax year 2026/27 and can change. Lifetime ISA withdrawals not used for a first home or after age 60 may incur a 25% government charge.

How the ISA allowance tracker works

Every UK adult can pay up to £20,000 into ISAs each tax year, and any interest or investment growth inside an ISA is completely free of UK tax. This tracker helps you plan how to split that £20,000 across a Cash ISA, a Stocks & Shares ISA, a Lifetime ISA and an Innovative Finance ISA — and warns you the moment you go over a limit.

Enter what you plan to put into each ISA type. The tracker shows how much allowance you have used, how much is left before 5 April, and the 25% government bonus your Lifetime ISA earns (up to £1,000 a year on the £4,000 limit). Because allowance does not roll over to the next year, the tracker makes it easy to use it before you lose it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ISA allowance for 2026/27?
The total ISA allowance is £20,000 per tax year. You can split it across Cash, Stocks & Shares, Lifetime and Innovative Finance ISAs, but no more than £4,000 can go into a Lifetime ISA.
How does the Lifetime ISA bonus work?
The government adds a 25% bonus on Lifetime ISA contributions, up to £1,000 a year on the £4,000 limit. It can be used towards a first home worth up to £450,000, or withdrawn tax-free from age 60.
Can I pay into more than one ISA?
Yes. Since April 2024 you can pay into multiple ISAs of the same type in the same tax year, as long as your total contributions stay within the £20,000 allowance and the £4,000 Lifetime ISA limit.
Does my ISA allowance roll over?
No. Any unused allowance is lost at the end of the tax year on 5 April — it does not carry forward. That is why it pays to use as much as you can afford before the deadline.
What happens if I pay in more than £20,000?
Paying in over the limit is not allowed; HMRC may instruct your provider to remove the excess and any growth on it. The tracker flags the moment you exceed either the £20,000 total or the £4,000 Lifetime ISA cap so you can adjust.
