Balance compounds monthly; the required-deposit figure solves forward for the monthly amount needed so the target is reached exactly by the chosen year count — the two directions in one place.

How to use the Savings Goal tool

  1. Enter your savings goal in the fields above.
  2. Adjust any slider or type an exact number — the answer updates as you go.
  3. Copy the result and close the tab. Nothing you entered was sent anywhere.

About the Savings Goal tool

Two directions in one place: run your current plan forward to see when the goal lands, or solve in reverse for the monthly deposit that hits the target by a chosen year.

Compounding is modeled monthly, so a stated 4% annual return behaves as 4.07% effective — the same convention banks quote.

Everything runs locally in your browser: no data is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
