Pocket-Money Savings Goal Planner
Choose a goal, enter what is already saved and see how many weeks of saving are left. Print a tracker to colour in.
This is an example. Change it to your own details, or tap “Clear plan” to start from scratch.
Your plan is saved on this device only. Anyone with a share link can see the plan, so send it only to people who need it.
How it works
Enter the goal price, current savings and the amount your child plans to save each week. The result uses those amounts only; it does not recommend a pocket-money amount.
Update the saved balance yourself. The progress tracker shows ten milestones, rounded up to the next cent, with the final step at the goal price.
Questions
How are the weeks worked out?
The planner subtracts what is already saved from the goal price, divides the remainder by the amount saved each week and rounds up to a whole week.
Does it allow for spending or interest?
No. It assumes the same amount is saved every week, with no spending, fees, interest or price changes. Update the numbers when circumstances change.
Can my child colour in the tracker?
Yes. Print the ten-step tracker. Each step shows a saving milestone in rands; tick or colour it in when that amount has been saved.
