Estimated return assumes gilt is held to maturity. Estimate does not account for reinvestment of dividends or impact OF taxes. Gilts can be sold at any time, and return will vary depending on the timing of your trades and market interest rates. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

Note that gilts go ex-dividend seven business days before the coupon date. If you are using this calculator within seven business days of the gilt’s next dividend, the accuracy of your results may be impacted

Other charges may apply. See T&Cs.
