How it works
Starting savings are grown at your interest rate, then the shortfall is spread across the remaining months using the future-value-of-an-annuity formula, so the monthly figure accounts for the interest your deposits earn along the way.
Frequently asked questions
What interest rate should I assume?
Use the rate your actual savings account pays. Leave it at zero for a plain, conservative plan.
Is interest compounded monthly?
Yes. The annual rate is divided by twelve and applied each month, which matches most savings accounts.
