The benefits of using a cash ISA are clear: no tax payable on the interest earned, regardless of amounts, and you can put in up to 20,000 a year for now. That will change from April 2027, capped at 12,000 (the rest can go into other ISA types), but if you'd even been putting in 150 - nowhere near enough to max your allowance - you'd still have been able to save up more than 21,000 after a decade, assuming an average 3 per cent interest rate.
