Can saving $700 per month make you wealthy?

Saving $700 a month may sometimes be tough, but in most cases, most American households can afford it. In this report, we will analyze what impact on your finances will such an approach have and how much you could accumulate over time. 

To be honest, it is not possible to get wealthy quickly by saving just $700 per month, but if you were persistent, it would accumulate a small fortune. Let's see how much you could save for retirement if you stick to the plan for 30 years.



Initial amount: $0,00
Monthly payment: $700,00
Interest rate (nominal): 8%
Interest rate (effective): 8.3% ?
Time period: 30 years
Amount paid: $252 000,00
Interest before tax: $798 206,03 ?
Tax due: $0,00 ?
Future balance: $1 050 206,03 ?

Due to regular monthly savings of $700,00 for 30 years , you could accumulate $1 050 206,03. Most of this amount ($798 206,03) comes from interest earned at an average APR of 8% and is significantly higher than the total sum of monthly payments ($252 000,00).

Notice that this result was achieved because of a long saving time of 30 years, which unleashed the full potential of compound interest, so the total value of savings could grow to $1 050 206,03.

How much $1 050 206,03 will be worth after 30 years ?

Although $1 050 206,03 it’s a lot of money, after 30 years , its purchasing power will be lower than today. The impact of inflation over such a long time could be significant.

Even a moderate inflation rate of 1 or 2 percent could decrease the real value of future savings. For example, due to a 2% inflation, the future value of the current $1 050 206,03, after 30 years , will be the equivalent of $576 076,82 today. It is still much more than the total sum of payments ($252 000,00) but considerably less than you might expect.

What’s more important, over a long period of time, you may expect periods of even higher inflation. The table below shows the future value of $1 050 206,03 after 30 years , depending on the average inflation level.


Inflation rate Future value in current money Real return
1% $777 914,47 $525 914,47
2% $576 076,82 $324 076,82
3% $426 501,05 $174 501,06

How long will it take to reach $2 000 000,00 due to regular savings of $700,00 per month?

You probably wonder how long it will take to save $2 000 000,00 by saving $700,00 a month. For sure, it will take many years, but it is not as long as you may think.

Of course, if you save in a bank account with no interest rate, it is almost impossible because you gonna need $2 000 000,00/($700,00*12) = 238 years!

Luckily compound interest is your ally, and it could speed up the process of saving significantly. If you achieve an average APR of $8,00%, your savings balance will reach $2 000 000,00 after 37 years 7 months. The chart below shows how your capital will grow over time.

Key takeaways:

How to speed up the process of saving $1 050 206,03?

Saving $700,00 a month for 30 years requires a lot of persistence and self-discipline. What’s more, undergoing inflation is constantly decreasing the value of your capital. As we have shown before, after 30 years , $1 050 206,03 will be worth much less than now.

Fortunately, there are several ways of reaching $1 050 206,03 in savings a lot faster than in 30 years . Below we present four tips you could implement in order to reach $1 050 206,03 much faster.

1. Higher interest rate

By achieving an average interest rate higher than 8 you could reach your goal of $1 050 206,03 faster. Even a slightly higher APR could allow you to accumulate much higher results.

The table below shows how a higher interest rate will shorten the time needed to accumulate $1 050 206,03 in savings. The simulation assumes that you still save $700,00 per month, but the interest rate will be higher.




Sum of payments Interests Tax Time needed
8% $252 000,00 $798 206,03 $0,00 30 years
9% $234 500,00 $820 612,56 $0,00 27 years 11 months
10% $219 100,00 $833 760,13 $0,00 26 years 1 months
11% $206 500,00 $853 812,43 $0,00 24 years 7 months

As you see, an even slightly higher APR could result in a significantly faster capital accumulation rate. If you invest your savings more efficiently, you could shorten the time needed to reach $1 050 206,03.

2. Initial down payment

This is the most underappreciated technique for improving savings rates. Although you need 30 years to save $1 050 206,03, you may be surprised how big an effect even a small initial sum would have had on your earnings.

The table below shows the impact of the initial down payment on the time needed to reach $1 050 206,03 in savings. All the simulations below consider the regular saving of $300 per month with 8% APR.




Sum of payments Interests Tax Time needed
$0 $252 000,00 $798 206,03 $0,00 30 years
$7000 $252 700,00 $802 514,68 $0,00 29 years 3 months
$35000 $256 900,00 $793 664,52 $0,00 26 years 5 months
$70000 $268 800,00 $785 097,32 $0,00 23 years 8 months

As you can see, even a small initial amount could accumulate into a large sum of money due to compound interest over a long period of time. This effect makes the saving process much easier, but it is most often underestimated. Everyone has some savings, and as we have shown above, even a small sum could shorten the time required to save $1 050 206,03 by several years.

3. Systematic increase in the amount monthly of savings

To be honest, the assumption that the regular saving amount will be just $700,00 per month is rather pessimistic. Over time your salary will grow. Especially if you are young and at the beginning of your career, you could expect multiple pay raises in the years ahead.

Such events will let you systematically increase the amount of monthly savings from $700,00 to much higher values. This will have a spectacular impact on your savings rate. The table below shows how small but systematic increases in monthly savings will shorten the time needed to save $1 050 206,03.
