Find out how long it will take to reach a savings goal, or how much to save each month to get there on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate how long it will take to save for a goal?
Starting from your current savings, each month add your contribution plus interest earned that month, and repeat until the balance reaches your goal.
How much should I save each month to reach my goal on time?
Subtract the future value of your current savings (grown with interest) from your goal, then divide by the future value factor for a series of monthly payments over your time frame.
Does a savings account interest rate make a big difference?
For short time frames the effect is small, but over several years even a modest interest rate can meaningfully reduce how much you need to contribute each month.
