What is the Savings Goal Calculator?

This calculator uses the present value of an annuity formula to find the required monthly savings. It accounts for your existing savings and compounds interest monthly.

Formula

Monthly Required = (Target − FV of current savings) × r ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1) ÷ (1+r), where r = monthly rate.
FV
= Target savings amount
PV
= Current savings
r
= Monthly interest rate
n
= Total months
