Savings Goal Calculator
Find the monthly amount needed to reach any savings goal.
🎯 Finds the monthly amount needed to hit any savings goal, accounting for investment growth on what you already have.
What Is This Tool?
Find the monthly contribution needed to hit any savings goal — a house deposit, a car, an emergency fund, or a vacation — accounting for investment growth on what you already have saved.
How It Works
The calculator projects the future value of your current savings, then solves for the monthly contribution that fills the gap to your goal. A higher return rate means smaller monthly contributions — but with more risk.
Setting Realistic Goals
- Emergency fund: 3-6 months of expenses
- House deposit: 10-20% of home price
- Vehicle: Pay cash if possible to avoid loan interest
- Wedding: Varies widely — set your number first
Frequently Asked Questions
What return rate should I use?
Use 4-5% for high-yield savings or conservative investments. Use 7% for long-term stock market investing. Higher rates mean smaller monthly contributions but more volatility.
