Formula
Future Value = PV × (1 + r)ⁿ + PMT × [((1 + r)ⁿ - 1) / r]
Solve for n when Future Value = Target Amount
Where:
• PV = Present Value (Current Savings)
• PMT = Monthly Payment (Monthly Contribution)
• r = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate ÷ 12)
• n = Number of Months
Example Calculation:
If you're 30, have $50,000 saved, contribute $1,000/month, expect 7% returns, targeting $1,000,000:
• The calculator solves for how many months/years until you reach $1,000,000
• With these inputs, you'd reach $1,000,000 in approximately 25-30 years
• At age 55-60
