Use this NatWest PPI Credit Card Calculator to estimate your potential compensation for mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI). The calculator helps you understand how much you might be owed from NatWest based on your account history and the type of PPI you were sold.
What is PPI?
Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) is a type of insurance that was commonly sold to credit card customers in the UK. It was supposed to protect them from financial hardship if they were unable to make credit card payments. However, many people were mis-sold PPI, meaning they paid for it without realizing the true costs or benefits.
Key points about PPI:
- PPI was often sold as an add-on to credit cards
- It was typically expensive and not always necessary
- Many customers were unaware they had PPI
- The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) was set up to compensate victims
If you believe you were mis-sold PPI, you may be eligible for compensation. The amount you could claim depends on several factors, including how much you paid for the PPI and how long you had it.
How to Calculate PPI
Calculating your potential PPI compensation involves several steps. The main factors to consider are:
- Total amount paid for PPI
- Duration of the PPI policy
- Type of PPI (credit card PPI or other types)
- Whether you made any claims during the policy period
Basic PPI Compensation Formula:
Compensation = (Total PPI Premiums Paid) × (Compensation Rate)
The compensation rate varies depending on when the PPI was sold and whether you made any claims.
For NatWest PPI specifically, the compensation rates are determined by the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). These rates have changed over time, so it's important to use the correct rate for your specific case.
NatWest PPI Claim Process

- Gather your evidence - keep records of all PPI payments and communications
- Check your eligibility - use the calculator to estimate your potential compensation
- Choose a claim method - you can claim through NatWest, the Financial Ombudsman Service, or a solicitor
- Submit your claim - follow the specific instructions for your chosen method

Important notes about NatWest PPI claims:
- NatWest has a dedicated PPI claims team
- You can claim even if you've already claimed through another method

- You may need to pay a small fee for professional help
Example Calculation
Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you had NatWest credit card PPI for 5 years and paid a total of £6,000 in premiums. The compensation rate for this period would be 20%.
Example Calculation:
Compensation = £6,000 × 20% = £1,200
This means you could potentially receive £1,200 in compensation for this PPI policy. Keep in mind that this is an estimate and your actual compensation may vary.
| Duration | Compensation Rate |
|---|---|
| Less than 1 year | 10% |
| 1-3 years | 15% |
| 3-5 years | 20% |
| More than 5 years | 25% |
