Savings goal formula
The monthly target is the amount to put in your budget each month.
(Target - saved - extra deposit) / months = monthly savings targetSet a target for travel, holidays, car repairs, annual bills, or a future purchase. See how much you need to save each month and whether your current contribution is enough to reach the goal on time.
Enter the target, what you already have, and when you want the money ready.
The full cost of the thing you are saving for.
What you are already saving each month. The result compares this with the amount needed for the deadline.
Choosing one replaces the goal details you entered above.
Use the monthly target as a budget category so the goal is funded before leftover money disappears.

Start with the monthly target: that is the amount the goal needs each month to reach the deadline. Then compare it with your current monthly contribution.
Saved so far includes current savings plus the one-time deposit. Still needed is the remaining goal balance. The monthly target divides that balance across the months left and rounds it up using your selected setting.
Your savings plan will appear once you add a target amount.
Progress shows how much of the goal target is already set aside. Future monthly contributions are not counted until they are saved.
At current pace estimates how long the goal would take using the current monthly contribution. Monthly gap is the extra amount needed each month to meet the chosen deadline; $0 means the current contribution is enough.
The calculator subtracts what you already have from the target amount, then divides the remaining gap by the number of months before your deadline. If you add a one-time deposit, that deposit reduces the remaining amount.
