THE WORKING, NOT A BLACK BOX
Behind the result - No mystery in the method
What this tool calculates
Savings gap = the greater of target − current savings and zero. Months needed = savings gap ÷ monthly contribution, rounded up to a whole month.
What it does not do
This is a zero-interest estimate with equal end-of-month contributions. It excludes returns, inflation, tax, fees, withdrawals and missed contributions; it gives a contribution count, not a guaranteed completion date. It does not fetch a real bank balance, access a bank account, or store planning data on a server.
Inputs, rounding and privacy
Use a full stop for decimals, no grouping commas, and at most two decimal places. Amounts are limited to 1,000,000,000 per field. A currency choice changes display labels only; no exchange rates are applied. Blank optional fields are omitted from the worksheet; blank optional amounts contribute zero when arithmetic needs a value. Recurring-cost equivalents are rounded for display only. Entered text is displayed literally, not interpreted as HTML.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before you go
Does the estimate include interest or investment returns?
No. It assumes equal monthly contributions and no interest, fees, tax, inflation or withdrawals. It is not investment advice.
What if I have already reached my target?
The savings gap and additional months needed are zero. A monthly contribution is not required when the entered current savings cover the target.
Why is the number of months rounded up?
A partial month is counted as a full monthly contribution. The final contribution can be smaller than your normal amount; the worksheet shows the amount still needed for that final month.
Will my savings details be stored or fetched?
No. You type all figures. The tool neither fetches a balance nor sends its inputs to a server. Print or download a worksheet if you want a copy before leaving.
