Work out monthly savings goal instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Given a goal and a deadline, the monthly saving follows from the annuity formula. Showing the no-interest figure alongside makes clear how much of the work the interest is doing over short horizons — usually very little.
Required saving
Monthly = Goal / {[((1+r)^n - 1)/r] × (1+r)}
Figures are estimates for planning only. Market returns are not guaranteed, and rates, limits and tax rules change. This is not financial or tax advice — speak to a qualified adviser before acting.
There is too little time to compound. Under three years the deposit amount does nearly all the work.
Extend the deadline or reduce the goal — raising the assumed return only adds risk of a shortfall.
