How It Works

Goal-based savings planning in three modes. Distinct from a compound-interest calculator, which grows a fixed lump sum β€” this answers the practical questions people actually ask about reaching a savings target.

  1. 1
    Pick your question
    "How long until I reach my goal?", "How much do I need to save monthly?", or "How much will I have?" β€” each mode asks only for the inputs it needs.
  2. 2
    Enter your numbers
    Starting balance, contribution or target, interest rate, and a time horizon or target date. Choose daily, monthly, or annual compounding.
  3. 3
    See the plan
    Get the answer plus a growth chart and a year-by-year breakdown of contributions vs. interest earned.

All calculations run in your browser. Your financial numbers are never sent anywhere.
