Home Tech Vault practical guide
How much should I save each month for an appliance replacement?
Subtract money already set aside from the expected all-in replacement cost, then divide the remainder by the months until your planned purchase.

Estimate the complete purchase
Include any delivery, installation, removal, accessories and applicable tax. Get a current quote so the target reflects the replacement you could actually buy.
Keep the timing realistic
An appliance may work beyond your planning date or fail earlier. This is a savings plan, not a prediction of when a particular machine will stop working.
Revisit the balance
Update the plan when prices, savings or timing change. The calculator assumes no interest or investment return and does not move or store money.
Try it with your own numbers
A $1,500 replacement with $300 already saved leaves $1,200. Over 12 months, the target is $100 per month.
