How this calculator works

This Junior ISA calculator is for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or guarantee what your child’s investments will be worth. It is designed for a Stocks and Shares Junior ISA only and does not account for Cash Junior ISAs. Investments can go down as well as up in value, so your child could get back less than you invest. Freetrade does not provide investment advice and you are responsible for your own decisions.
Results are based on the information you enter, including expected growth rate, existing balance, regular contributions and timeframe. Growth is converted into a monthly compounded rate and assumes contributions are made at the start of each month. You can adjust the growth rate to explore different scenarios.
Estimates exclude ongoing JISA account fees, as Freetrade does not charge an account fee for its Junior ISA. Other charges, including FX fees, may apply. Inflation is not included.
Freetrade’s Junior ISA is available for children under 16, and funds are locked until age 18 other than in limited circumstances. The account then converts into an adult ISA. The calculator projects the estimated value at age 18 based on the time remaining.
‍
For the 2026/27 tax year, you can contribute up to £9,000 per child across all JISA types. No UK tax is paid on interest, dividends, or growth within a Junior ISA. JISA rules apply. Tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and may change.

I've used freetrade for a few years now. I'm using it to give me one of a variety of incomes as i head in to retirement,(mostly uk dividend shares in my modest portfolio). My basic isa account is free to use, what's not to like!

What can i say, a great service, no charges for transactions, just a nice easy 1 yearly or monthly fee whichever you prefer. I have a SIPP & S&S Isa (think there are cheaper sipps, but if you have both products cannot see any cheaper). Keep up the good work, and please to get 5* just need employer contributions set up

A charge (£0) free ISA, that’s easy to use with a wide range of investments offered. It seems to good to be true, but I’ve used it now for 18 months without a glitch. The customer care is responsive to questions and very positive and helpful when you need assistance. I’ve just transferred more cash into my account and it was a doddle, just use the button in Freetrade and it fills in its details for the bank transfer so there are no mistakes, the transfer took seconds.

What I love most: Commission-free trading: Buying and selling shares without hidden fees makes investing accessible to everyone. Fractional shares: You don’t need hundreds to invest in big-name companies—just a few pounds and a bit of curiosity. Slick design: The app feels modern and easy to navigate, even for beginners. Educational content: Their in-app insights and weekly emails help me understand the market better without being overwhelming. ISA and SIPP options: For those thinking long-term, it’s great to have tax-efficient accounts built right in. Whether you're dipping your toes into the stock market or managing a growing portfolio, Freetrade makes the experience feel empowering rather than intimidating. It’s not just an app—it’s a gateway to financial confidence.
