Calculation steps

  1. 1Monthly rate r = 3% ÷ 12 = 0.2500% , periods n = 5 × 12 = 60
  2. 2FV of initial lump sum = 0 × (1+r)ⁿ = 0.00
  3. 3Remaining gap to fund monthly = 100,000 − 0.00 = 100,000.00
  4. 4Monthly = gap × r ÷ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1) = 1,546.87
  5. 5Total deposited 92,812 + interest 7,188 ≈ goal 100,000

The earlier you start, the more compounding works for you — at 3%, a 10-year goal needs noticeably less per month than squeezing it into 5 years. Also factor in inflation: a cash goal set today buys less in the future, so consider slightly overfunding long-term goals.
