How it works

Subtract what you have already saved from the goal amount to get what is left to save.

Saving a set amount each month: divide what is left by your monthly amount and round up, because a partial final month still needs a deposit. That many months from today is your finish date.

Aiming for a date: count the months until that date (a partial month counts as one), divide what is left by that number and round up to the cent so you never fall short.

Savings goals in the To Budget Simply app use exactly the same calculation, so the numbers here match what you will see after you sign up.

Example

Maya wants $6,000 for a trip in 12 months and has already saved $900. She has $5,100 left to save, so she needs $425 a month.

If she can only manage $300 a month, $5,100 รท $300 = 17 months, so she would reach her goal in 1 year 5 months.
