Savings Goal Calculator

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your savings target.
  2. Enter what you have already saved.
  3. Enter how much you can save each month and press Generate.

Worked example

With a target of 12000, current savings of 2000 and monthly saving of 500, the amount still to save is 12000 - 2000 = 10000, and the time needed is 10000 / 500 = 20 months.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This is an estimate, not financial advice. It ignores interest earned, inflation, fees and months when you save more or less than the regular amount.

Frequently asked questions

What if I already passed my target?

The remaining amount will be zero or negative, which means the goal is already reached on these numbers.

Does interest speed this up?

Yes, in a real account interest would shorten the time, but this simple version leaves interest out.
