Informazioni su Savings goal calculator

The monthly deposit needed is what closes the gap between the goal and what your current savings will grow to: C = (G − S(1 + i)^n) ÷ (((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i), where G is the goal, S the amount already saved, i the monthly rate and n the number of months. In the other mode, the number of months comes from logarithms of the same equation and is rounded up to the month in which the goal is reached.

With the defaults, reaching 50,000 in 5 years from 5,000 already saved at 4% a year takes 662.08 a month. The 60 deposits add up to 39,724.61, and interest supplies the remaining 5,275.39 on top of the 5,000 you started with.

Interest is compounded monthly at a fixed rate, with deposits at the end of each month unless you choose the start under More options. Tax on interest and changes in the rate are not included.

Domande

How much do I need to save each month to reach a goal?

Subtract what your current savings will grow to from the goal, then divide by the annuity factor ((1 + i)^n − 1) ÷ i. To reach 50,000 in 5 years from 5,000 at 4% compounded monthly, you need 662.08 a month; Excel's =PMT(4%/12, 60, -5000, 50000) gives the same. With no interest the same goal takes (50,000 − 5,000) ÷ 60 = 750 a month.

How long will it take to reach my savings goal?

Solve the savings equation for the number of months and round up. Starting from 5,000 and saving 500 a month at 4%, the balance first passes 50,000 in month 77, after 6 years 5 months; raising the deposit to 750 cuts that to 54 months. Excel's NPER function solves the same equation.

How much does interest help a savings goal?

More the longer the horizon. Over 5 years, 4% interest cuts the deposit needed for 50,000 from 750 to 662.08 a month, and 5% cuts it to 640.87. Over 10 years at 4%, the deposit falls to 288.94 a month and interest supplies 10,327.63 of the 50,000.

Does it matter if I save at the start or end of the month?

Slightly: a deposit made at the start of the month earns one extra month of interest. For 50,000 in 5 years from 5,000 at 4%, the deposit needed is 659.88 at the start of each month against 662.08 at the end, a difference of 2.20 a month.

Quanto è preciso «Savings goal calculator»?

La precisione dipende dai dati inseriti e dalle ipotesi del metodo. Il calcolo decimale usa 50 cifre significative, ma stime, metodi numerici e dati di origine possono essere meno precisi; l’arrotondamento visualizzato non elimina questi limiti.
