About this calculator

A savings goal calculator works out how many months it takes to reach a target amount given your starting balance, monthly deposit and interest rate. It also shows how much of the goal comes from deposits versus interest earned.

Frequently asked questions

What if I never reach the goal?

If your deposit is zero and interest alone cannot reach the target, the calculator shows no result. Increase the monthly deposit to reach the goal in a set time.

Does interest really help much?

Over short periods the deposit dominates, but at higher rates and longer horizons interest can cover a meaningful share of the goal.
