Contribution arithmetic, not an investment forecast.

How this estimate works

Remaining target = max(target − saved, 0). Months = remaining target ÷ monthly contribution, rounded up to a whole month. Contributions arrive once per month; the final contribution may be smaller.

The estimate excludes interest, fees, inflation, taxes, withdrawals and missed payments. It does not recommend where to invest or how much to save. Inputs stay in the memory of this page.

A goal already covered returns zero months. A zero or negative contribution is not a valid schedule in this tool. Each input is limited to $1 billion.
