(() => { const r=rate ÷ 1200; const n=years × 12; const p=1+r^(n); const fvNeeded = goal - currentSavings × p; if (!Number.isFinite(p)) return NaN; return Math.max(0,r===0 ? fvNeeded ÷ n : fvNeeded × r ÷ (p-1)); })()
Variables and parameters
- Savings goal (goal): default value 50000.
- Current savings (currentSavings): default value 5000.
- Annual return (rate): default value 5 %.
