How It Works
The Saving Goal Calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine how much you need to save each month. Here's the breakdown:
- Target Amount: The total amount you want to save.
- Starting Savings: Any money you already have saved (optional).
- Timeframe: The number of months you have to save.
- Interest Rate: If you’re earning interest on your savings, this can help reduce your monthly contributions (optional).
The calculator subtracts your starting savings from your target amount and divides the result by your timeframe. If you include an interest rate, it factors in the additional earnings to give you an even more accurate monthly savings goal. Easy, right?
