Save $75,000 in 2 Years
This page shows the monthly deposit needed to save $75,000 in 2 years. The starting interest rate is 4 percent a year and you can change it.
The deposit comes to $3,006.87 a month. Interest covers $2,835 of the goal.
How the deposit is worked out
With a 4 percent yearly rate the monthly rate is 0.3333 percent. Raise one plus that rate to the power of 24 to get the growth factor. The deposit needed is the gap to $75,000 times the monthly rate divided by that factor minus one. If the rate were zero the deposit would simply be the gap divided by 24.
