Down-Payment Savings Tracker

Money & budgeting

See the month your down payment and closing costs are covered, and a rough payment.

One big goal in one file: down payment, closing costs and a cushion. Add your accounts, a monthly amount and planned deposits to see the month you'll get there at your current pace, or the monthly amount that gets you there by a month you pick. Log real deposits, slide the price, print a one-page plan. Works offline. No subscription.

What you get

  • Your goal added up for you: down payment (you choose the percentage), closing costs as a percent or a dollar amount, plus a cushion for moving and repairs
  • The month you'll reach it at your current pace, with every month laid out, plus 25, 50 and 75 percent milestones
  • Pick a target month and see the monthly amount that reaches your goal by then, rounded up to the dollar
  • A deposit log that restarts the projection from what you really have, with planned one-time deposits like a tax refund or a gift and optional savings interest
  • A rough monthly payment from the rate you type (principal and interest, property tax, insurance, HOA, mortgage insurance) and a price slider that moves the goal, the finish month and the payment together

Who it's for

People renting and saving for a first home, often in their late twenties to late thirties, who want one number to aim for, a date they can watch move, and a rough monthly payment next to it. Unlimited accounts and deposits. Not a lender tool, and it never judges what you can afford.

Questions

Is the monthly payment a quote or a pre-approval?

No. A rough estimate from the numbers you enter. Not financial or lending advice, not a loan offer or pre-approval. Your lender's Loan Estimate is what counts.

Does it fill in an interest rate for me?

No. The rate field starts empty and the payment uses only the rate you type. The sample uses 6.5% as an example, not a current rate or a quote.

Does it tell me whether I can afford a home or how much to put down?

No. It adds up the goal you set and projects your savings. You choose the down payment percentage; the quick buttons just type the number for you. It gives no affordability verdicts and no advice on loan types or mortgage insurance.

How does it work out the month I'll reach my goal?

It starts from your account balances plus any deposits in your log. Each month it adds interest at the APY you typed (if any), then your monthly amount and any planned one-time deposit, until the balance reaches the goal. Month 1 is next month. It's a projection from your numbers, not a promise.

Does it work offline, and how do I back it up or move it to my phone?

Yes. It's a single file that works offline and saves on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere. Press Export to save a backup file, then open the tool on another device and press Import.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Each tool is a single file that opens in the browser on any iPhone, Android phone, tablet or computer. There's no app to install.

Where do my numbers go?

Nowhere. Everything you type stays on your own device. The tools work offline and never send your data anywhere.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep the file. Fixes to the version you bought are free.
