Savings goal
A trip, a deposit, a car: the amount you want, the date, and what to put aside each month to get there.
Everything is worked out in your browser: nothing is sent, nothing is kept.
How it is worked out
1
What the savings already there will have earned by the date is taken off the target. The rest is divided into monthly deposits, which earn every month too.
2
The amount is rounded up to the cent, so the goal is met. With no return, it is a simple division.
Deposit= (Target − D₀ × (1 + r)n) × r ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1)
with r the monthly rate

Questions
What if I cannot make it each month?
Make the term longer: a few more months often lower the deposit more than one expects.
What return to enter?
The account's, net of fees. Enter 0 for an account that earns nothing.
And in fleen?
A space with a goal follows what has been put aside and what is left to pay in.
