How much should I save each month for a vacation?

To save ₹2,00,000 for a vacation in 10 months, you'd set aside about ₹20,000 every month — roughly ₹667 a day. Use the calculator above to plug in your own target and timeline.

How long will it take to save for a vacation?

It depends on how much you can save each month. Saving ₹20,000/month reaches ₹2,00,000 in 10 months. Save more each month and you'll get there sooner — the calculator shows your exact finish date.

Does this assume any investment returns?

No. This is a straight-line savings plan — it assumes you set aside a fixed amount each month with no market returns or inflation. That's the safe, predictable way to plan a short-to-medium-term goal where you can't risk the money. For longer goals, a SIP may help your savings grow faster.

Where should I keep the money while I save?

For a goal you'll spend within a few years, keep it safe and accessible — a high-interest savings account, a sweep-in fixed deposit, or a liquid fund. Avoid equities for short-term goals, since a market dip could leave you short right when you need the cash.

How can I reach the goal faster?

Automate a fixed transfer right after payday, redirect bonuses and windfalls straight into the goal, and track your spending to free up a bigger monthly surplus. Even a small increase to your monthly amount can shave months off the timeline.

How the math works

A savings goal is simple straight-line math: divide what you still need by the number of months you have. For this example, ₹2,00,000 ÷ 10 months = ₹20,000 per month. Already have something saved? Subtract it first — the calculator above does this automatically.

Tips for saving for a vacation

Book flights and hotels early — prices climb closer to the date, so saving ahead pays twice.
Keep your trip fund in a separate account so a good sale doesn't tempt you to dip in.
Budget for the on-ground extras — visas, insurance, food, and shopping add up fast.
If the date is flexible, travelling off-season can cut your target by 20–30%.
