About this calculator
This calculator works out the regular deposit — the sinking fund payment — needed to reach a savings goal by a target date at a given interest rate, using the formula PMT = FV × r / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), the mirror image of a standard annuity payment formula.
Companies use sinking funds to set aside money for future bond repayments or equipment replacement, and individuals use the same math to plan regular deposits toward a known future expense like a large purchase or a balloon payment. Enter the target amount, interest rate and number of periods to get the required deposit.
