You can use this calculator as many times as you like, experimenting with different combinations of contribution rates, rates of return on investments and years of saving for a variety of your financial goals such as retirement or college. The bottom line: the more you save and the more your investments earn, the faster you will recoup your losses. The good news: it may not take as long as you might think.

Be sure to leave one of the last three fields blank so the calculator knows which value to solve for.
