Frequently asked questions
- How is the required contribution calculated?
- We search for the contribution amount that brings your projected ending balance to your target, given your starting balance, growth rate, timeline, and contribution schedule.
- Which contribution schedule should I use?
- Match the tool to how you actually save — monthly for most automatic transfers, annually for bonus-only saving, quarterly for irregular but periodic deposits.
- Can I reach the goal with no growth?
- Set the growth rate to 0% to see the pure savings math. Any positive growth rate reduces the amount you need to contribute yourself.
