How This Calculator Works

This calculator projects how long it will take to reach your down payment goal based on your current savings, monthly contributions, and the interest earned in a savings account.

Formula: Future Value = Current Savings × (1 + monthly rate)^months + Monthly Contribution × [(1 + monthly rate)^months – 1] / monthly rate.

Assumptions & Limitations

  • • Monthly contributions are consistent.
  • • Interest compounds monthly at the stated APY.
  • • Does not account for closing costs or moving expenses.
