How do vacation planning calculators work?
Our vacation planning calculator uses the following approach:
Future Cost = Current Cost × (1 + Inflation)^Years
Where:
• Years = Time until vacation
• Monthly Savings = Future Cost × Monthly Rate / ((1 + Monthly Rate)^Total Months - 1)
• Monthly Rate = Annual Return / 12 / 100
