Savings Calculator


Savings calculator with compound interest, annual and monthly contributions, tax rate, schedule, and ending balance. Estimate how your savings can grow over time.

What Is a Savings Calculator?

A savings calculator estimates how a starting balance grows with compound interest and regular contributions, and separates the final balance into deposits versus interest earned.

You can model an initial deposit, add either annual or monthly contributions with their own growth rate, choose a compounding frequency, and apply a tax rate to the interest. Whether you're tracking a fixed monthly deposit, like a regular savings account, or a lump sum left to grow, the chart and accumulation schedule show how the balance builds year by year.

Savings Growth Example

Start with a $10,000 deposit, add $200 a month, and earn 4% interest compounded monthly for 10 years: the ending balance is about $44,364. Of that, $34,000 came from your own deposits and contributions, and about $10,364 is interest earned.

Planning Regular Deposits and Taxes on Interest

Use the annual contribution increase field if you plan to save more each year, for example matching a raise. If your account is taxed on interest rather than tax-sheltered (unlike a tax-free ISA or similar account in your country), enter a tax rate so the projected balance reflects what you actually keep, not the pre-tax interest.

Savings Calculator FAQ

What does this savings calculator estimate?

This calculator estimates the ending balance of savings based on an initial deposit, annual and monthly contributions, contribution growth, compound interest, tax on interest, and time. It also separates the result into deposits, contributions, and interest earned.

How is this different from an investment calculator?

The intent here is savings growth: projecting how cash savings or recurring deposits can accumulate over time. An investment calculator often uses similar math, but this page is framed around savings balances, contributions, and an ending balance view.

What compounding frequency should I choose?

Choose the compounding frequency that best matches your account or assumption, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually. More frequent compounding increases the effective growth rate slightly when the nominal annual rate stays the same.

Does the calculator include taxes on interest?

Yes. If you enter a tax rate, the calculator reduces the interest portion accordingly. The deposit and contribution amounts are not taxed in the calculation; only the earned interest is adjusted.

Can I see how the balance grows over time?

Yes. The page includes a chart and an accumulation schedule so you can review deposits, interest, and ending balance over time instead of seeing only one final number.

Can I model a fixed monthly deposit, like a regular savings account?

Yes. Enter your monthly contribution and leave the increase at 0% if it stays the same every month, then set the interest rate and compounding to match your account. The schedule shows the running balance and interest month by month.

What is the savings growth formula?

For a deposit growing with regular contributions, FV = P(1+r)^n + PMT × [(1+r)^n − 1] / r, where P is the initial deposit, PMT is the recurring contribution, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. This calculator also applies contribution growth and tax on interest on top of this base formula.
