How it works

deposit = (target − initial·(1+i)ⁿ) ÷ ((1+i)ⁿ−1)/i

Enter your target, how many months you have, anything already saved and an optional interest rate. The tool returns the fixed monthly deposit that gets you to the goal. With a 0% rate it's simply (target − already saved) ÷ months.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I save per month?

Divide what you still need by the number of months. With interest, the required deposit is a bit lower — this tool does the exact math.

Does it account for interest?

Yes — set an annual rate and it assumes monthly compounding. Leave it at 0 for a plain savings plan.
