FAQs
What does this calculator do?
It totals your starting balance with all future monthly deposits to show the cash you will hold at the end of the chosen period.
How is the result calculated?
The tool multiplies your monthly contribution by 12, multiplies by the tenure in years, then adds your initial deposit.
Does it account for interest?
No. It provides a principal-only view, useful for zero-risk targets or when you want to ignore uncertain returns.
How often should I update my numbers?
Review every 6–12 months to match changes in income or goals (Investopedia, 2023).
What if I save bi-weekly instead?
Convert your bi-weekly amount to a monthly figure by multiplying by 26 and dividing by 12 to keep the math accurate.
Any expert tip for sticking to the plan?
“Automated transfers are one of the easiest ways to build savings” (CFPB, 2022).
