What This Site Does for You
PB Prizes exists because the tools Premium Bonds holders actually need didn't exist anywhere else. Here's what your support keeps running:
- A prize checker that works when NS&I's doesn't. When NS&I's app crashed on draw night, our checker kept going — because we built independent infrastructure specifically for that moment.
- Honest numbers, not marketing. NS&I advertises a 3.6% prize fund rate. Our calculators show you the median return is actually closer to 3.1% at maximum holdings — and £0 for smaller amounts. That gap matters for real financial decisions.
- Comparisons without an agenda. When we compared Premium Bonds to Chip's "3.5x better odds" marketing, we showed the full picture — not because someone paid us to, but because you deserved the truth.
- 10 tools, zero sign-up, zero tracking. Calculator, checker, comparison tool, portfolio optimizer, performance tracker, growth projections, millionaire odds, historical data, facts page, and community forum. All free. All private. Your bond numbers never touch our servers.
What It Takes to Keep Going
This site is built and maintained by one person in their spare time. There are no investors, no sponsors, and no advertising revenue. The tools are free because that's the whole point — but the servers, the domain, and the hundreds of development hours aren't.
Why No Ads — Ever
Financial tools should give you unbiased answers. The moment a savings provider pays to appear on this site, every comparison result becomes suspect. We'd rather ask for your support directly than compromise the thing that makes PB Prizes worth using.
