Savings Goal Calculators
This page offers 2 separate calculators which help savers figure their finances.
- The first calculator presumes you know how much you are going to save each month, but want to calculate how long it will take you to reach your goal.
- The second calculator presumes you know when you need to have money saved up by, but do not know how much you will need to save in order to reach that goal.
How Much Will You Need to Save Each Month?
Usage Instructions
Enter the amount of money you would like to save, how much you currently have set aside, the anticipated rate of return, along with how many years you intend to save money for. The calculator will then return the future value of your current savings, how much of a gap exists, and how much more you will need to save each month to reach your goal by a specific date.
How Long Will It Take To Reach Your Savings Goal?

I very frequently get the question:
'What's going to change in the next 10 years?' And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. … [I]n our retail business, we know that customers want low prices, and I know that's going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It's impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, 'Jeff I love Amazon; I just wish the prices were a little higher,' [or] 'I love Amazon; I just wish you'd deliver a little more slowly.' Impossible. And so the effort we put into those things, spinning those things up, we know the energy we put into it today will still be paying off dividends for our customers 10 years from now. When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it." - Jeff Bezos
