In detail: Savings Goal Calculator for a £25,000 Goal saving £200/mo
Saving £200/month toward £25,000 takes about 125 months of disciplined transfers — but that's the zero-interest scenario. In a 4.5% instant-access account, the same contributions get you there roughly 5 months earlier, and you'd end up with closer to £25,500 total.
A goal of this size is long-term enough to consider Stocks & Shares ISA exposure for the early years, then gradually de-risking to cash as the target date approaches. Investing the whole pot is high-risk if the timeline is under 5 years.
Automate it: a standing order the day after payday beats manual transfers by a wide margin. The money you never see in your current account is the money you actually save.
