Calculating Your Saving Goal
Firstly you need to figure out how much you want to save in total for your chosen goal and when your deadline will be. This free Monthly Budget Planner will be of use for that so you can figure out exactly how much you can afford to put away each month.
Divide your goal by the number of weeks until your deadline to determine how much you should save each month.
