Goals Planner (SGD)

How likely is a savings plan to reach a goal, in today's Singapore dollars? The answer depends heavily on what you assume about future returns, so this page shows several reasonable assumptions side by side instead of one number.

Education, not advice. A personal educational project; not affiliated with any financial institution; not financial advice.

Your plan

Start from an example

Examples A–D are the hypothetical investors from the project's write-up. Their share mixes come from the earlier project's risk menu and are not age-based advice.

Share of shares (equities)

The rest is in Singapore Government Securities. Presets 49%, 59%, 67% and 88% are the earlier project's risk-menu mixes.

Chance of reaching the goal

Calculating…

Monthly saving needed for chance

Holding today's amount, the yearly increase and the horizon fixed; ignores the SRS cap.

Charts use:

The range of outcomes widens with time. Each band holds the middle share of the simulated futures.

Returns vary from month to month and good or bad stretches compound, so the longer the horizon, the wider the gap between good and bad outcomes. The dashed line follows the middle of the worst 10% of futures; the dotted line shows the same savings held in cash.

Show the numbers
Largest fall along the way. The biggest drop from a peak in the portfolio's value (ignoring new savings), after inflation.

This is how deep a slump you would have had to sit through. In half of the simulated futures the largest fall is at least the "typical" value; in 1 in 20 it is worse than the left end.
