📐 How It Works
Savings Formula
Adjusted Goal = Nominal × (1+Inflation)^Years Remaining = Adjusted - FV(Current) - PV(Lump Sum) Monthly = Remaining × r / ((1+r)^n - 1) Rate = Purpose Base Rate × Country Factor
📊 Example
Inflation-Adjusted Example
Goal $15K, 7% inflation, 2yr, $10K at yr1, 1.5% rate:
• Adjusted Goal = $15K × (1.07)² = $17,174
• Current $0, FV $0
• PV of $10K = $10K / (1.00125)^12 = $9,851
• Remaining = $17,174 - $0 - $9,851 = $7,323
• Monthly = $7,323 × 0.00125 ÷ (1.0304-1) = $300.73
• Total saved = $300.73×24 + $10K = $17,218
• Final balance $17,627, interest ~$409
