Savings Goal Calculator FAQ
Deposit more or chase a better rate?
At everyday amounts the deposit dominates: on a small pot, one extra monthly payment beats a whole percentage point. Run both here and watch — the arithmetic is refreshingly unromantic about rates.
Why does it cap at 100 years?
Because past that the answer is really “this deposit does not reach this goal” — and the tool says that instead of printing a fantasy date.
