Will mortgage rates go down?
» asks Melania Benincasa
Of course, we don't know the answer for sure, but the prices of the new fixed offers have fallen in recent months.
In fact, the best deals are now at or below what they were before the mini-budget, when Liz Truss was prime minister.
The Bank Rate – which is the benchmark interest rate – is expected to fall further, according to independent forecasters at the Office for Budget Responsibility.
However, because of government spending fueling some price increases, they say interest rates won't fall as far and as quickly as they predicted.
How will stamp duty change?
» asks Ross, 27, from Bristol
Two things happen here – one mentioned in the speech, the other not.
First, additional stamp duty on the purchase of second homes and residential rental properties in England and Northern Ireland will increase from 3% to 5% on Thursday.
Commentators believe this could help reduce the number of properties landlords want to buy and rent, potentially increasing landlords' rents. The Chancellor says this will give first-time buyers more chances to buy.
Second, the thresholds at which stamp duty is paid are expected to return to their original levels in April. According to an analysis by property portal Zoopla, around 80% of first-time buyers currently pay no stamp duty, but this figure would now fall to around 60%.
Scotland and Wales have separate but similar taxes on property purchases.
Will NI payments made by businesses impact their hiring power and could they backfire on staff?
Asks Laura, from London
This is clearly one of the main points of debate in this budget.
The National Insurance bill for all but the smallest businesses is likely to rise. Analysts – as well as the official independent forecaster – say this will likely mean companies will pay lower wages than would otherwise have been the case.
Business groups say it could also reduce the number of employees companies hire.
The chancellor says she was left with little choice because tax increases were necessary.
This is before we get into the political debate over whether or not the NI change breaks a manifesto promise.
Has the 25% tax-free lump sum amount when taking a pension been affected?
asks Keith Anderson, 75, from Newport, who says there was speculation the amount would be limited to £100,000.
From the age of 55 (or 57 from 2028), anyone with pension savings can withdraw a quarter of their money as a tax-free lump sum up to a maximum of £268,275.
Keith is right: there was a lot of speculation that this cap would be lowered, in order to further increase government taxes. This prompted some people to act sooner than they otherwise might have.
I've covered many budgets and many pension changes are often talked about and then don't happen. This is another one.
This will be a relief for some people who hope, for example, to pay off a mortgage (or help their children or grandchildren get one) in the future by taking part of their retirement pot as a tax-free lump sum. .
Can I find out more about the bus fare announcement?
» asks Caro Reed, from Brighton
The Chancellor confirmed that the cap on bus fares on many routes in England will rise from £2 to £3 in January and will be in place for a year.
Single bus fares in London with Transport for London will remain at £1.75 and Greater Manchester at £2, due to a different funding system in these cities.
It is also a good example of how policies differ in different regions of the UK, as the devolved nations also set their own rules.
How were pensions included in the calculation of inheritance tax?
» asks Neil Gilbourne, 67, of Lincoln
Inheritance tax is paid if the estate is valued at more than £325,000, but currently any money saved in a pension is not taken into account.
Anyone who dies before the age of 75 can generally pass on their remaining pension savings tax-free as capital or income.
If they are 75 or over when they die, their pension money can still be passed on, but it is treated as income and the person they leave it to may have to pay income tax .
However, from April 2027, inherited pension funds will be part of the tax calculation, potentially bringing more inheritances into the net.
