Whether you're saving for a down payment on a house, a vacation, an emergency fund, or any other goal, this calculator provides a clear savings plan based on your current savings, time frame, and expected interest rate.
How the Savings Goal Calculator Works
The calculator uses the future value formula for compound interest to determine the required monthly savings:
- Calculates the additional amount needed (goal amount minus current savings)
- Determines the total number of months in your time frame
- Calculates the monthly interest rate based on your annual rate and compounding frequency
- Uses the future value of an annuity formula to determine the required monthly payment
