How this calculator works

Enter your current savings, goal amount, horizon and optional hypothetical annual return. The calculator models monthly deposits at the end of each month.

Formula

Needed monthly deposit = (target − current × (1+r)^n) × r ÷ ((1+r)^n − 1).

Before you use the result

Calculator outputs are estimates based on the numbers you provide. Replace the examples with measurements, costs, rates, or product information appropriate to your situation.

Keep in mind

Rates of return are not guaranteed. Taxes, fees and inflation are not included.
