What is this? Your "savings velocity" is how fast you're closing the gap between your current savings and a financial goal. This calculator shows how long you'll actually need — accounting for inflation eroding your purchasing power and compound growth on your savings.
The key insight: Saving 30% of income gets you to financial independence ~2x faster than saving 15%. And earning 7% vs. 5% on your savings shaves years off your timeline when the goal is decades away.
Who it's for: Anyone saving for a house, car, wedding, emergency fund, or early retirement.
