What is a savings goal for kids?
A savings goal is a specific amount of money a child wants to save for something they plan to buy or achieve. A savings calculator can help turn that goal into a simple saving plan.
What Does Saving Money Mean?
Saving money means keeping some of the money you receive instead of spending all of it immediately.
Children can save money for something they want, an activity they are planning for, a future purchase or another goal that is important to them.
Example: Saving for a Goal
| Savings Goal | Rs. 2,000 |
| Already Saved | Rs. 500 |
| Still Needed | Rs. 1,500 |
| Monthly Saving | Rs. 250 |
