Savings Goal Calculator
Calculate how much to save each month to reach your financial goal, with interest projections and a full growth schedule
// Pay Yourself First
Set up an automatic transfer on payday before you spend anything. Treating savings like a bill ensures consistency and removes the temptation to skip months.
// Compound Growth
Even modest returns make a big difference over time. At 5% annual return, interest earns interest — your money grows faster the longer you leave it invested.
// Emergency Fund First
Before saving for a specific goal, build an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses. This prevents you from raiding your savings when unexpected costs arise.
// Break It Down
A big goal feels overwhelming, but broken into daily amounts it becomes manageable. Saving R50/day is easier to commit to than R18,000/year.
// Adjust as You Go
Got a raise or bonus? Increase your monthly contribution. Markets down? Stay the course — consistency matters more than timing. Revisit this calculator quarterly.
// Where to Save
For short-term goals (1-3 years), use a high-interest savings or money market account. For longer goals (5+ years), consider a tax-free savings account or low-cost index fund.
