Savings Growth Calculator
Track savings account growth with regular deposits.
Understanding This Calculator
Whether you're saving in a high-yield savings account, money market, or CD, see exactly how regular deposits compound toward your goals.
Core Formula
FV = Initial × (1+r)^t + Monthly × [((1+r)^t - 1) / r]
What's a good savings rate today?
As of 2026, high-yield savings accounts offer 4-5% APY. Shop around — online banks typically pay 10x more than traditional brick-and-mortar.
Should I save or invest extra cash?
Keep 3-6 months of expenses in savings for emergencies. Anything beyond that time horizon should generally be invested for higher long-term returns.
