HOW TO USE THE SAVINGS GOAL CALCULATOR
This free savings goal calculator estimates how much you may need to save each month and how long it could take to reach a financial goal.

HOW THE CALCULATOR WORKS
The calculator subtracts your current savings from your total goal.
It then uses your target date to estimate how much you may need to save each month. If an interest rate is included, the estimated growth may also be considered.
EXAMPLE
Suppose your savings goal is $6,000 and you have already saved $1,200.
You still need to save $4,800. If your target is 12 months away, you would need to save approximately $400 each month, excluding interest and withdrawals.
