Savings Goal Calculator

Pick a goal and a deadline. This works out the monthly deposit, counting the interest your savings earn along the way.

How it works

Deposit = (goal - saved x (1 + r)^n) x r / ((1 + r)^n - 1), with r = rate / 12 and n months. At 0% it is (goal - saved) / months.

FAQ

APY or APR?

For a savings account the APY is close enough here; the calculator compounds monthly.

Is the deposit at the start or end of the month?

End of the month, which is slightly conservative.

What if the result is $0?

Your current savings will grow to the goal on their own at that rate.
