Free calculator
When can I afford it?
Enter the price, what you have saved so far, and how much you put aside. You get the date.
This page does all of the math in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere. The calculator counts your first deposit one full week or month from today, and ignores price changes, interest, tax, and shipping.
How the date is worked out
The calculator takes the price, subtracts what you have already saved, and divides what is left by the amount you set aside each week or month. It rounds up to a whole number of deposits, because the money only counts once it is in the pot. The date is that many weeks or months from today.
For example, a $1,200 item with $200 saved and $100 set aside every week leaves $1,000 to go, which is 10 weekly deposits, so the date is 70 days from today.
What Savematic adds
This calculator handles one purchase and one steady amount. The Savematic app handles your whole wishlist at once, uses your real paydays and expenses, and checks the live price at the store, so the date moves when the price does. It runs on your phone with no account.
