The interest on your savings won’t count towards your Personal Savings Allowance, and of course, you can save up to £20,000 in annual tax-free savings.
The total annual ISA allowance is £20,000 for the 2022/23 tax year. Money you deposit into an ISA will be counted as part of your yearly allowance, unless you are replacing money you have previously withdrawn from a flexible ISA in the same tax year.
