Savings goal calculator

Calculate how much you need to save each month to reach your savings or retirement goal based on what you already have, the time frame and the expected return.

For information only. Not financial advice. Always check your broker's conditions before trading.

How it works

Calculate how much you need to save each month to reach a target amount, for example for retirement, a home deposit or an emergency fund, taking into account what you have already saved and an expected annual return.

The calculation compounds the return monthly and assumes you contribute at the end of each month.

FAQ

What return is realistic?

It depends on where you invest. Historically, global equities have outperformed bonds over the long term, but with more volatility. Use conservative figures.

Does it take inflation into account?

No. To work in today's money, subtract expected inflation from the return.
