Every long-term savings goal is really two questions: how much time and how much each month. The savings goal calculator answers the one you are missing. Give it a target and a monthly deposit and it works out the number of months until you get there; flip the mode and it tells you the deposit a fixed deadline demands.
Turn on compounding and interest starts doing part of the work. Cash that compounds monthly earns sooner than cash that waits for a yearly payout, so the same deposit can clear the target faster — and the balance table shows the interest drip stacking on top of what you add yourself.
