Practical guide
Using the Multi-Goal Savings Planner well
Who this is for
People juggling a vacation, emergency fund, and down payment who keep guessing which goal to fund first.
Worked example
With $800/month to save across three deadlines, sequential funding often finishes the nearest deadline earlier, while split funding keeps every goal moving—compare both before you commit.
Sequential vs split in plain language
Sequential puts the full surplus on one goal until done, then rolls to the next. Split divides the surplus every month. Sequential can hit the first deadline sooner; split reduces the chance any goal is starved.
Common pitfalls
- Funding a low-priority want before a zero emergency floor
- Ignoring deadline order when interest or fees are attached
Frequently Asked Questions
Sequential is best when priorities differ a lot. Split helps when several deadlines are tight. This tool compares both.
