The method

How it works

01

Start with today's balance

Your existing savings form the first part of the goal and can receive projected monthly growth from the start.

02

Add monthly contributions

The calculator adds the same contribution at the end of each month, after applying one month of the selected annual rate.

03

Stop at the target

The projection repeats month by month until the balance reaches the target, with a maximum horizon of 100 years.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculator guarantee an investment return?

No. It is a planning projection. Real interest or investment returns can change, and fees, taxes and inflation can reduce the result.

When are monthly contributions added?

Kitalva assumes one contribution at the end of each month. A beginning-of-month contribution would have slightly longer to grow.

What interest rate should I enter?

Use a rate that matches the type of account and test a lower scenario as well. Enter 0% for a contribution-only plan.
