Frequently Asked Questions

Does this account for compounding interest?

Yes, the calculator compounds your savings monthly at the annual rate you specify, then adds your monthly contribution.

What if my contribution amount will increase over time?

This calculator assumes a fixed monthly contribution. For a more precise projection, rerun the calculation periodically as your contribution changes.

What interest rate should I use?

Use the APY of your savings account, money market account, or CD if your down payment funds are sitting there.
