What changes this most?
Time horizon and contribution rate are controllable inputs; test a longer horizon before relying on a higher return assumption.
Sensitivity check
A roughly 10% move in time horizon changes the modeled headline result by up to $182 in this setup.
Returns are not guaranteed. Fees, tax and changing contributions are not included.

Formula
The calculator solves the future-value annuity equation for the month-end contribution needed to reach the target after allowing the starting balance to compound.
The entered annual return is treated as an effective annual return and converted to an equivalent monthly rate. Contributions are assumed at month-end; taxes and fees are excluded.
Editable rates, growth assumptions, prices, fees, and percentages are planning inputs unless the calculator explicitly identifies a current source.
