How to use the Savings Goal Calculator

  1. Enter the target and current savings.
  2. Enter the number of months remaining.
  3. Optionally include an expected annual return.

How it works

With no return, the remaining gap is divided evenly. With a return, monthly compounding is included.

Formula

Monthly savings = remaining goal ÷ months (at 0% return)

Example

To add $9,000 over 18 months with no return, save $500 per month.
