How to Use the Savings Calculator The Savings Calculator allows the following to be entered:
Planned Monthly Savings Planned monthly savings is your monthly contribution to the savings account. Choose an amount that fits well within your budget. When saving long term, try to save at least this amount each month. Saving more will help you reach goals faster, so try to save more when you can. Even an extra $25 a month can have a big impact on your total savings amount. Years to Save The years to save is how long you’d like to save. When planning for retirement, this can be hard to determine, but give your best guess. For short range goals such as a down payment for a home or a car, the time frame will be easier to guess. Interest Rate Received The interest rate received can be found on the paperwork from when you opened the savings account. Obviously, the higher the interest rate, the quicker the savings will grow. Try to find the highest interest rate to help reach your savings goal. The interest rate on mutual funds will vary, but your financial adviser can give you an estimated percentage rate to enter here based on past performance. As this rate changes, use the calculator again to get a better estimate of the money you will accrue in the time period. Interest rates fluctuate, so this financial calculator is better used for short term savings. However, it can provide a general idea for your savings goal. This calculator does not factor in the amount already saved. This money will also accrue interest as time goes on. This can be calculated using a separate calculator and added to the amount from the savings calculator. What are you waiting for?
