The method, explained

Remaining amount = max(0, goal − already saved). Months = remaining amount ÷ monthly contribution, rounded up.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

With 1,000 saved toward 5,000 and contributions of 250 per month, the target takes 16 months.

What to keep in mind

No interest, fees, withdrawals or contribution changes are modeled. Contributions are counted in complete monthly installments.

Common questions

Why round up?

A partial final month still requires the next scheduled contribution under this model.

What if I already reached the target?

The result is zero months because there is no remaining amount to save.
