Save initial calculated

today I'm gonna talk about how to calculate how much to save this math is going to be super simple you're gonna be able to do it on your phone if there's your first time at our channel or you haven't subscribed click on the subscribe button at the bottom my name is Travis Sickle CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER we stick them on our financial advisors if you're trying to get to a goal say buying your first home or going on a vacation you want to say for it you need a better way to do it and you want to calculate it you want to how much is safe right so we need to upgrade this is something that's going to work a little bit better for us so here we go I'm going to give you a link to the calculator that I use on my phone it's super simple instead of going out and buying a financial calculator you can actually download a simple app to do the math for you it's fairly simple I'm going to show you how to do it so today's example I'm gonna talk about buying a home so let's say it's your second home or your first time it does it matter you'll want to be able to save a little bit of money you'll want to avoid PMI so you want to save at least 20% so if that's the case let's do some math so we're going to start out with the goal which is $300,000 now that's the purchase price so we have $300,000 but we only need to save 20% of that 20% of that is gonna come out to $60,000 now the other thing that you need to know is when do you want to buy the house you know when is a reasonable expectation that you could afford the house well maybe you don't know so we're gonna have to work on some math so one of those things is the time frame so whether that's 3 5 or 10 years out now I'm sure that you want to buy this house as quickly as possible so here's how we can do it so the $60,000 goal is what we're trying to achieve but we know that there's something else there's something called inflation that's the price of goods every single year slowly increasing well sometimes we don't even feel it but it does happen so let's assume we're gonna have to assume something we're gonna have to assume a rate of inflation so we're going to assume this 60,000 right here is growing at a 3 percent annual rate of return that means if we're gonna buy this house in five years that 60,000 is going to be more so let's say that's five years at three percent so now we have to figure out what is $60,000 in five years so let's take this math and let's inflate that 60,000 out for five years so we're gonna do it on the calculator I'll put the link in the description of the calculator that I'm using on my phone so you can do it simply if we're taking and we're looking at the five years first we want to hit five shift and n that's gonna give us our sixty months you can see 60 up there 60 payments if we go to the interest we're gonna get a 3% interest rate because that is inflation or present value is $60,000 we're not gonna save anything we just want to know what 60,000 is in five years or future value or FV is going to give us that sixty nine thousand six hundred and ninety seven dollars now don't worry about that negative you just have to save the 70 thousand dollars that's the number that we're looking for so now we know that in five years that same 60 that's today is going to be 70 thousand tomorrow so now we have to figure out how much to mean to save so what we need to now assume is what rate of return we're gonna get in the market so let's say assuming a 7% so let's change that interest rate to seven percent we're still going to keep it with the five years or the sixty months and our present value is now zero because we have nothing saved and if we hit the payment key the PMT that's gonna be nine hundred and seventy four dollars per month at a seven percent ready to return so if our investments do seven percent every single year we'll have enough money to put down on a three hundred thousand dollar house now let's say that nine hundred and seventy four dollars per month is out of your budget something that you can't afford so that means we're gonna have to prolong the goal or push it back so instead of five years maybe we will go to six or seven years so you can make that simple adjustment right on your calculator by just hitting seven shift and the end key and you can see that changed to 84 months which is seven years if you go back and hit the payment key we can see that it brings it down to six hundred and forty five dollars per month and if you want to be more conservative and you want to only get a 5% rate of return you just hit 5 shift and interest and hit that payment key again and you can see it goes back up a little bit it went to 695 dollars so you can work this math on one specific goal for anything that you're trying to achieve you just want to make sure that your assumptions are correct whether it's inflation or the rate of return that you're achieving now don't take on more risk than you can handle this is just to show you how the math is done if you've enjoyed this video be sure to subscribe and leave your comments down at the bottom
