How This Tool Works

How It Works

This calculator determines the monthly deposit needed to reach a savings target, optionally accounting for compound interest from a savings account or investment.

Formula (with interest)

PMT = Target × r / [(1+r)^n - 1]

Where r = monthly interest rate, n = total months

Formula (without interest)

PMT = Target / months

Milestones
