Savings goal tracker
A savings goal tracker keeps a running total of what you've put toward one goal and how far you have left. Name your goal, add each amount as you save it, and print a chart to shade in.
Your history is saved in this browser only. We keep a rounded summary to improve the tool, never the dates or a goal name of your own.

To improve this tool, we keep a rounded summary: your target, how many amounts you've logged and their totals. Dates are never kept, and your goal's name only if it's a common one like Vacation. What we keep
How it works
Every amount you add goes into the history with its date, sorted from oldest to newest, with a running total beside it. The bar and the percentage compare that total with your goal. Money you take out comes off the total, but the total never goes below zero.
The chart under the result splits your goal into 100 squares. If your goal is $2,000, each square is $20. Printing it gives you a sheet to keep on the fridge and fill in by hand.
What it can't do
It tracks the money; it doesn't hold it. The balance only means something if the money stays where you put it. A tracker shows a withdrawal after it happens; it can't stop one.

Questions
Where is my savings history stored?
In this browser only, in its local storage. It won't show up on another phone or computer, and clearing your browser data deletes it. To improve the tool, we keep a rounded summary: your target, how many amounts you've logged and their totals. Never their dates, and your goal's name only if it's a common one like Vacation.
Is this a savings account?
No. It's a log of what you've put away somewhere else. It doesn't hold or move any money.
How does the printable chart work?
It has 100 squares, each worth 1% of your goal. Squares you've already saved are filled in. Print it and shade a square for each 1% you put away.
Can I record money I took back out?
Yes. Choose Money taken out and it comes off the running total. Seeing withdrawals next to deposits makes it easier to spot where a goal stalls.
