How much should I save each month for a goal?

Depends on goal amount, time until goal, and expected return. This calculator shows required monthly (or lump sum) savings to reach your goal.

What if I have less time?

Shorter time usually means higher monthly savings needed. This calculator shows the trade-off: extend timeline to lower monthly amount or save more per month.

What return should I assume?

Use a conservative return for short-term goals (e.g. savings account). For long-term goals you might assume higher return (e.g. investments); remember returns are not guaranteed.
