How to use this calculator

Enter your goal, current savings, years and expected annual return, then press Calculate. The monthly contribution needed and interest earned are displayed.

What the result means

The monthly amount is what you need to set aside to hit your goal on schedule. Starting earlier lowers it dramatically because your money does more of the work.

Frequently asked questions

What return should I assume?

For a savings goal within a few years, use a low or zero return. For long-term investing, 5-7%.

Can I change my contribution later?

Yes — recalculate any time. Even small increases compound into large differences by the deadline.
