How this calculator works

The calculator counts the days from today to your deadline and spreads what's left evenly across them.

Per day = (goal − already done) ÷ working days left
Per week = per day × days per week you'll work on it

Smaller targets are easier to start and easier to track. If the daily number looks too high, move the deadline or adjust the goal. A realistic plan you keep beats an ambitious one you drop.

Example

You want to save $3,000 in 90 days and have nothing saved yet. That's $33.33 a day, $233.33 a week, or about $1,000 a month.
