How to reach a savings goal

Working backwards from a target makes saving far easier. This calculator takes your goal, your current savings (which keep growing with interest), and your timeframe, then tells you the fixed monthly amount needed to get there.

Tips to hit your target faster

  • Automate the monthly transfer so it happens before you can spend it.
  • Keep the money in a high-interest savings account to let interest do some of the work.
  • Review the goal each year and increase contributions when your income rises.

Frequently asked questions

Does it account for interest on my current savings?

Yes. Your existing balance grows at the rate you enter, which reduces how much you need to add each month.

What interest rate should I use?

Use the rate on your savings account or a conservative estimate for an investment. A lower rate means a safer, more achievable plan.

What if my current savings already reach the goal?

The calculator will tell you your monthly requirement drops to zero because your balance grows to the target on its own.
