Your future starts today
Graduating from university is a huge milestone, and we hope you're still buzzing from your big day.
Mapping out your future can feel both exciting and daunting. But don't panic, you've got plenty of time to create the future you want.
If buying your first home is one of your life goals, the earlier you start the earlier you could get the keys in your hand.
And using a lifetime ISA to build your deposit fund could get you there even faster, thanks to the generous 25% government bonus.
However, if you don't use your lifetime ISA the way the government intended, you'll have to pay a 25% withdrawal charge. This could leave you with less than you put in. So it's important to understand the lifetime ISA rules before opening the product.

Lifetime ISA calculator
Buying your own home might feel a long way off. But saving up for a first-home deposit can take a while, so starting now could be a smart move!
This projection shows how your lifetime ISA could grow with low, medium and high performance.
Projections are not a guarantee of future performance. The value of your investment is likely to go up and down over time and there is a risk that you could get back less than you've paid in if you withdraw at a time when the value is lower.
Please note: No more than £4,000 may be invested into a Lifetime ISA within a single tax year. This includes your initial investment and your monthly direct debit payments.
How OneFamily customer, Dan, landed an extra £11,000 towards his first home
Our customer, Dan Barker (29), got an extra £11,000 towards his first home using his OneFamily Lifetime ISA.
With the combination of the lifetime ISA bonus and increase in value from the stock market^^, Dan benefited from an extra £11,000 on top of the money he put into his lifetime ISA.
“I bought by myself which can make it really difficult to afford, but the extra money I received by investing into a LISA made it possible.
“It wouldn’t have happened otherwise, or I would’ve had to buy a property that required a lot more work or wouldn’t have been able to get the location I’ve got.
“The extra bonus and growth allowed me to get exactly what I want."

Lifetime ISA rules
If you take money out of your lifetime ISA without following the lifetime ISA rules, you'll have to pay a 25% government withdrawal charge.
This may mean you get back less than you pay in. This is because the amount you withdraw is a combination of money you’ve put in, the government bonus, and any interest or growth.
So, you’ll have to give back all the government bonus you've received, plus 6.25% of your own money on top of that.
