How this savings goal calculator works
The savings target calculator starts from your current balance and compounds it monthly using the interest rate you enter. Each month it adds your fixed deposit and checks whether the savings target is met.
It stops when the balance reaches the goal or when the maximum number of years is reached. The tool then reports total deposits, estimated interest, and a simple time to goal.
Why use a savings target calculator for home and office plans
Many people use a savings goal calculator to plan upgrades such as a better home office desk, a new laptop, or a small renovation. Seeing the timeline makes it easier to set realistic monthly deposits.
You can also use the same savings target calculator for long-term goals such as tuition, a deposit on a home, or an emergency fund. Changing the monthly amount shows how much faster those goals can arrive.
