Tool guide
How to use this savings planner
A savings planner turns a vague goal into a monthly target. Enter your goal amount, current savings, and monthly contribution to estimate how long it may take to reach the target.
Formula
Months to goal = (goal amount - current savings) / monthly savings. Round up because partial months still need another contribution.

FAQ
How much should I save every month?
A practical starting point is 10% to 20% of income, but the right number depends on income stability, debt, rent, dependents, and emergency savings.
What should I save for first?
Most people should first build an emergency fund, then plan near-term goals, debt payoff, insurance gaps, and long-term investments.
Does this planner include interest or returns?
No. This version keeps the savings math simple. For investment goals, add expected returns and inflation before making a final plan.
