A note on returns
The annual return you enter is a long-term planning assumption for diversified stock investments (like index funds) — a projection, not a guaranteed rate. For context: cash savings currently earn around 4%, while the stock market has averaged about 10% a year before inflation (roughly 7% after) over the past century. Actual returns vary year to year, and past performance never guarantees future results.
Savings goal FAQ
How does the daily amount work?
We divide your monthly contribution by the average days per month (30.44) to show how small daily steps add up.
What if I already reached my goal?
The calculator shows zero months needed — time to celebrate like Ollie with a shiny new pebble!
Do contributions earn interest here?
Yes. Enter an annual return and your balance grows with monthly compounding. The return is a long-term planning assumption for investments, not a guaranteed rate — cash savings currently earn around 4%.
