Common questions
How long will it take to save up?
Enter the goal cost, how much is saved so far and the regular amount your child adds. The planner divides what's left by that amount to show the number of weeks, fortnights or months and an estimated date.
Which currencies does it support?
Pounds, US dollars, euros, Nigerian naira and Canadian dollars. Pick the currency and everything is shown in it.
Does it handle real money?
No. It's a planning tool to help children set a goal and see their progress. No payments are taken and nothing is linked to a bank.
Can we save the goal?
Yes. Sign in for free and save the goal to your account, then come back to update progress as your child saves.
