Time to Reach Savings Goal Calculator

Setting a savings target is easy, but knowing when you will actually hit it is what keeps you on track. This calculator tells you how long it takes to reach a goal given what you already have, how much you add each month, and the interest your savings earn. Enter your target amount, your starting balance, your monthly contribution, and an annual interest rate, and it compounds month by month until the balance crosses your goal, then reports the time in years and months plus your projected end date. It also shows how much of the total came from your own deposits versus interest. Use it to plan for a down payment, an emergency fund, or any milestone, and to see how a bigger monthly deposit shortens the wait. Everything is computed privately in your browser.

How to use Time to Reach Savings Goal Calculator
