How to use Savings Goal Calculator
The current balance grows with monthly compounding. Equal deposits are made at the end of each month, and the annuity future-value factor determines the required deposit.
- Enter current savings, target balance, nominal annual rate (%), months to save.
- Check that the input follows the stated limits and uses consistent units.
- Run the calculator, review the result, then copy or download it.
