Save $25,000 in 2 Years
Planning to have $25,000 in 2 years? The page shows the monthly deposit at 4 percent and the interest you earn along the way.
You would deposit $1,002.29 each month for 24 months. That is $24,055 in total.
How the deposit is worked out
The rule is a balance. Money you have now grows for 24 months. Money you deposit grows for fewer months each time. Add the pieces at 0.3333 percent a month and the total must equal $25,000. Solving for the deposit gives the gap times the rate over the growth factor minus one.
Worked example
At 4 percent you need $1,002.29 a month to hit $25,000 in 2 years. That is $24,055 of your own money.
Interest covers $945 of the goal. If your account paid nothing the deposit would have to rise to $1,041.67 a month.
