Turn a savings goal into a monthly number. Enter how much you need, what you've already saved, your timeline, and your account's interest rate — and see exactly how much to set aside each month to get there.
Estimate only — a planning tool, not financial advice. It assumes a steady interest rate and on-time monthly deposits; real returns and timing vary.
A big number like "$10,000" feels vague; "$357 a month" is something you can actually act on. Working backwards from the goal is how you make saving automatic instead of hopeful:
Then treat the monthly number like a bill: set up an automatic transfer on payday so it happens before you can spend it.
Divide the amount you still need by your timeline, then reduce it by the interest your balance will earn. This calculator does exactly that: it grows your current savings, subtracts that from the goal, and spreads the rest across your months — giving you a single monthly figure.
Over a short goal it's small; over a few years it adds up. On a $10,000 two-year goal, a 4% high-yield account covers a few hundred dollars you'd otherwise have to save yourself. Every bit lowers your monthly target.
Push the deadline out, lower the goal, or raise your starting amount. Change the inputs above to see how each lever moves the monthly figure until it's realistic.
