Why this gets reused

People revisit savings goals for travel, emergency funds, gadgets, deposits, and annual planning.

Having both timeline and required-contribution modes makes the tool useful from two real decision points.

Milestone visibility gives people a practical sense of progress instead of just one final number.

Strong first-use cases

Checking how long it will take to save for a laptop, trip, or emergency fund.

Figuring out how much needs to be saved each month to hit a deadline.

Comparing no-interest and low-interest scenarios for realistic planning.
