Frequently asked questions

What if my current savings can already reach the goal?

Then the required monthly contribution drops to zero, because the existing balance plus growth is already enough under the assumptions entered.

Why does the required monthly amount change so much when I change the return?

Because returns compound over time, and even modest differences can materially change how much of the goal must come from new contributions.

Is this only for investment goals?

No. It can be used for any future target, as long as the return assumption matches how you expect the money to be held.
