How this calculator works

Estimates how a savings balance grows with flexible deposit frequency, contribution timing, and compounding. Includes a monthly or yearly schedule and timeline start date.

Inputs

Starting balance
Deposit amount and frequency
Annual interest rate
Time horizon in years and months
Compounding frequency
Deposit timing (start or end of period)
Annual deposit increase percentage
Tax rate and inflation rate for adjusted values
Start month and year for schedule dates

Outputs

Future value
Total saved (starting balance + deposits)
Interest earned
Monthly or yearly schedule breakdown
Total number of months
After-tax future value
Inflation-adjusted future value

Assumptions

Deposits are made at the end of each compounding period
Rate is fixed and compounded at the selected frequency
Tax and inflation adjustments are simplified estimates

Tips

Set a goal amount, then adjust deposits and timeline
Review the rate if your bank updates APY
Use shorter horizons for cash goals

n = years * 12 and r = APR/12

Future Value = P*(1+r)^n + PMT * ((1+r)^n - 1) / r

Total Saved = P + PMT * n

Interest Earned = Future Value - Total Saved

Usage examples

Copy a scenario, then tweak inputs to match your case.

Example

Emergency fund

Inputs

Starting balance 2,000
Monthly deposit 300
APR 3% for 2 years

Outputs

Future value about 9,500
Interest earned about 300

A short horizon with steady deposits adds up fast.

Example

Vacation goal

Inputs

Starting balance 1,000
Monthly deposit 200
APR 2% for 1 year

Outputs

Future value about 3,500
Interest earned about 100

Lower rates still help but deposits do most of the work.

Monthly deposit vs 3 year balance (3%)

Monthly deposit	Future value	Interest earned
100	3,750	150
300	11,300	500
500	19,000	900

Shows how deposit size drives most of the total balance.
