Savings Tips
- Start early: The sooner you start saving, the less you need to save each month due to compounding interest.

- Consider tax-efficient accounts: In the UK, use ISAs to protect your interest from tax.
- Compare interest rates: Shop around for the best savings account rates.
- Review regularly: Adjust your savings plan as your circumstances change.

How It Works
The calculator uses compound interest formulas to determine the regular contribution needed to reach your goal:
- Your initial deposit grows with compound interest over time

- The calculator adjusts for different compounding frequencies and contribution periods
