How to Use the Nationwide Fairer Share Payment Calculator
A Nationwide Fairer Share Payment Calculator is an online tool designed to help Nationwide Building Society members quickly check whether they are likely eligible for the annual Fairer Share Payment.
This payment is a reward that Nationwide sometimes distributes to qualifying members as part of its mutual ethos of sharing profits with its customer-owners.
What Is the Nationwide Fairer Share Payment?
Nationwide Building Society occasionally pays out a Fairer Share Payment (e.g., £100 per eligible member in 2023) to qualifying members. The eligibility rules generally require members to hold certain products, such as:
- A Nationwide current account, and
- Either savings of at least £100 or an active Nationwide mortgage or personal loan.
Because the rules can be confusing, the calculator helps you check your potential eligibility in seconds.
How to Use the Calculator
- Select whether you have a Nationwide current account.
This is the core requirement—without it, you are unlikely to qualify. - Answer if you have £100 or more in savings with Nationwide.
Even small savings balances count if they meet the threshold. - State if you hold a Nationwide mortgage or loan.
If you don’t have savings, a mortgage, or a loan can still make you eligible. - Click “Check Eligibility.”
The tool will instantly tell you if you are likely to qualify for the Fairer Share Payment.
Example Scenario
- Sarah has a Nationwide current account.
- She also has £500 in savings.
- She does not have a mortgage or a loan.
The calculator would confirm that Sarah is eligible.
Why This Calculator Is Helpful

- Gives clarity: Quickly know if you should expect the payment.
- Budget planning: Helps you anticipate extra funds you might receive.
- Transparency: Ensures you understand why you are or aren’t eligible.
