Financial Tools & Calculators

Explore Castle Stonebridge’s UK financial tools: savings growth, retirement and protection checks, business resilience and indicative income protection premiums.

These tools help you organise your own figures and questions before a financial advice discussion. They do not replace advice, guarantee returns or produce insurer offers — they simply make the first conversation clearer.

  1. How they fit together
  2. Pick the tool that matches the question you are weighing up.
  3. Enter your own figures and read the assumptions on its page.
  4. Bring the illustration to an adviser conversation, if you wish.

Before you rely on a result

What these tools cannot tell you

Each tool page carries its own full assumptions, privacy information and risk warnings. These points apply to all four.

  • Illustrative only

    Every result is an illustration or screening indicator based on the figures you enter and each tool’s assumptions.

  • Not financial advice

    No tool gives a personal recommendation. A regulated adviser needs to consider your individual circumstances first.

  • Subject to underwriting

    Protection figures are not insurer offers. Acceptance, terms and premiums depend on full disclosure and underwriting.

  • Tax and charges

    Illustrations do not reflect every tax rule or product charge, which can reduce the value you receive.

  • Inflation

    Growth illustrations exclude inflation, so future amounts may buy less than the same sum today. Assumed rates are not guaranteed.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which financial tools does Castle Stonebridge offer?

Our tools hub brings together the Financial Health Check, Savings Growth Calculator, Business Resilience Analyser and Income Protection Premium Calculator. Each opens its existing dedicated tool page, where its inputs, methodology and full disclaimers are available.

Are the calculators free, and do I need to provide contact details?

There is no charge to use these tools. The savings calculator can be explored without contact details, with an optional enquiry afterwards. The Financial Health Check and Business Resilience Analyser request contact details before their results or analysis, and the income protection tool requests them as part of the quote enquiry. Any subsequent advice charges are explained and agreed before proceeding.

Do the results count as financial advice or a guaranteed quote?

No. Results use the figures you enter and the tool’s assumptions. They are educational illustrations or screening results, not personal financial advice, guaranteed investment returns or binding insurance quotes. A regulated adviser needs to consider your individual circumstances before making a recommendation; insurance acceptance and terms are subject to underwriting.

Can I discuss my results with Castle Stonebridge?

Yes. Use the enquiry option on the relevant tool page or contact advice@castlestonebridge.co.uk or 01246 308249. Our working hours are 09:00–17:00. You can also request a conversation without completing a calculator. Sending an enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.

Who are these UK financial planning tools for?

The tools support initial financial planning conversations for UK-based individuals, families, savers and business owners. They do not cover every tax rule, charge, eligibility condition or personal circumstance. Read each tool’s assumptions, privacy information and risk warnings before relying on an illustration.
