How this savings calculator works
We take your goal, subtract what you've already saved, and solve for the monthly deposit needed to reach the target by your deadline — accounting for compound interest if you're using a high-yield savings account. A higher APY means the account does more of the work for you.
Where should I keep my savings?
For short-term goals, a high-yield savings account (often 4%+ APY) keeps your money safe and growing. This calculator lets you plug in any rate to compare.
What if I can't hit the monthly number?
Extend your deadline or trim the goal. Even saving a little consistently beats waiting for the "perfect" amount.
