A little goes a long way
On its own, the voucher you receive from the Government might not be enough to give your child the head start they’ll need when they turn 18.
That’s why you, your family or your friends can ‘top-up’ the account by up to a combined amount of £1,200 each account year (each new account year starts on your child’s birthday).
Any money paid in to the account then belongs to your child. Only they can access it, and only when they reach age 18.
It’s quick and easy to top up an account and just by adding a little to the account each month, you could make a difference to how much they get when they’re 18. Try our Child Trust Fund calculator on the left-hand side of the page to see how much you might need to put away each month.

Or, if you’ve already applied, you can register for Online Wizard now (as long as you’re the Registered Contact for the account).
