How to use this calculator
- Get an all-in estimate instead of using only the advertised price.
- Subtract only savings actually earmarked for the appliance.
- Revisit the target when your quote or purchase timing changes.
How the calculation works
Savings gap = replacement cost − savings already available, with a minimum of zero. Monthly contribution = savings gap ÷ months remaining.
Worked example
A $1,500 replacement with $300 already saved leaves $1,200. Over 12 months, the target is $100 per month.
