Understanding This Calculator
Whether it is a house down payment, a new car, or a child's education fund, this tool works backward from your target amount to tell you exactly how much to save each month.
Core Formula
PMT = FV × (r/n) / ((1+r/n)^(nt) − 1)
What rate should I use for savings?
Use a conservative rate matching your actual vehicle — high-yield savings for near-term goals, balanced portfolio for goals 5+ years away.
Should I adjust for inflation?
Yes. For goals more than 5 years away, estimate the future cost by inflating the target at your expected inflation rate.
