Savings Calculator: The Complete Guide
Plan toward a savings goal. Enter your starting balance, a monthly deposit, the annual interest rate (APY), and the number of years to project your future balance and the interest you'll earn along the way.
Who the Savings Calculator is for
Anyone building an emergency fund or savings goal who wants to see how regular deposits and interest add up.
How to use the Savings Calculator

How it works
The starting balance grows at the APY while monthly deposits compound as an annuity. The future balance combines both; interest earned is the balance minus everything you deposited.

Making savings grow
Consistent monthly deposits plus compound interest are how ordinary savings become substantial over time. Higher-yield savings accounts and longer horizons both help, but regular contributions usually matter most in the early years. This calculator shows how your habits translate into a future balance.
