In detail: Holiday Savings Calculator for a £1,000 Holiday in 9 Months
Saving £111 a month for 9 months gets you to £1,000 — but most people under-budget holidays by 15–25% because they forget the "small" costs: airport parking, travel insurance, foreign exchange spread, meals out, activities, and gifts. Padding the target by 20% to £1,200 (£133/month) is a more realistic plan.
With 9 months to save, compounding actually does some work. A regular-saver account (typically 5–7% for 12 months) would add around £30 on top — usefully more than an instant-access account for the same contributions.
Booking tip: for a sub-£1,500 trip, flexibility on dates is often worth more than chasing deals — Tuesday/Wednesday departures are typically 15–25% cheaper than Saturdays.
