How the Savings Goal Calculator works

Monthly compound interest

The calculator assumes interest is compounded monthly. Each month your balance earns interest, which is then added to the balance, so you earn interest on interest in subsequent months.

Setting a realistic target

Enter the total amount you need — whether for an emergency fund, holiday, home deposit, or anything else. The calculator shows the fastest path to get there given your current savings and monthly budget.

Increasing your contribution

Even a small increase in your monthly contribution can cut months or years off your timeline. Try increasing the contribution field to see the impact — the time saving is often surprisingly large.

Interest rate assumptions

The interest rate is the rate on your savings account before tax. Basic-rate taxpayers have a Personal Savings Allowance of £1,000, so most people pay no tax on savings interest. Higher-rate taxpayers have a £500 allowance.
