Great beginner challenge! This is perfect for building your first savings habit.
Enter your starting amount (how much you'll save in week/month 1), the increment (how much to increase each period), and duration (total weeks or months). The calculator instantly shows your total savings and breakdown.
The $5 weekly challenge ($260/year) or 52-week challenge ($1,378/year) are perfect for beginners. They start with small amounts and build gradually, making them sustainable for most budgets.
Absolutely! Use the calculator to adjust starting amount, increment, and duration to fit YOUR budget. Common modifications include halving amounts for tighter budgets or doubling for faster savings.
100% accurate! The calculator uses simple arithmetic: (start amount + increment × period number) summed over all periods. It's the same math used for all popular savings challenges like 52-week and envelope methods.
