Formula
How the savings calculator works
The savings growth tab compounds your starting balance and deposits over time. The emergency fund tab multiplies essential monthly expenses by your coverage target. The optimizer compares monthly savings with your income and long-term financial independence target.
Future value = savings + deposits + compound interest
Emergency fund target = monthly essentials × months of coverage
