See how long it takes to reach your savings target from your current balance, monthly deposits, and expected return.

A savings goal calculator steps forward month by month, growing your balance by your expected monthly return and adding your contribution each month, until the balance reaches your target — then it reports how long that took and how much came from deposits versus growth.
It steps forward one month at a time. Each month it grows your balance by the monthly return rate (annual return divided by 12) and then adds your monthly contribution, repeating until the balance reaches your goal. The number of months is converted into years and months. Results are estimates, not financial advice.
If your monthly contribution is zero and your return rate is zero while your current savings are below the goal, the balance never grows and the goal cannot be reached. The calculator also stops after 100 years (1,200 months) and reports the goal as not reachable under the current inputs.
The calculator tracks how much you contributed (starting savings plus all monthly deposits) and how much came from growth. Interest earned is the final balance minus your starting savings minus your total contributions.
