Frequently Asked Questions
How does this help me hit a savings goal?
It works out how much to set aside each month, factoring in interest earned, to reach a target amount by your chosen date.
Does interest reduce how much I need to save?
Yes. The higher your rate, the more compounding does the work, lowering the monthly contribution required to reach the same goal.
What if I can only save a fixed amount?
Enter your contribution and it will show how long the goal takes, so you can decide whether to save more or extend the timeline.
