The Million Pesos Calculator

Updated: May 14, 2020

How long will it take for you to become a millionaire? Let’s have a bit of fun today by trying this financial calculator.

You will start by entering your Current Savings.

Then look into your monthly budget and determine how much you can save in a month, enter this amount as your Monthly Deposits.

In the Rate of Return field, enter a number corresponding to the interest rate that your savings bank is giving you.

Alternatively, you can enter the growth rate of a specific financial instrument that you plan to invest in.

Lastly, enter your Current Age and press Calculate to compute how long it will take for you to become a millionaire.

Try it now and we’ll talk about some results later.

So, how long will it take for you to become a millionaire? More importantly, what can we learn from this tool?

Assume that you are a 21-year old college graduate with no savings but is about to start on a job that pays P15,000 a month.

If you diligently pay yourself 10%, meaning you save P1,500 each month, and continually invest that money on an instrument that gives 5% monthly rate of return; then you’ll be a millionaire by age 47.

Now that seems to be a long time to wait. But simply increase your monthly deposits by P500 and you’ll become a millionaire four years earlier at the age of 43.

This financial calculator uses the principle of compound interest to calculate how your money will grow.

Although the presented results are not realistic because it doesn’t take into account other factors such as inflation; it nevertheless gives us a strong vision of what’s possible for us.

By estimating our financial status and using this simple tool, we can have an idea how far (or how near) we are to becoming a millionaire.

As suggested by my friend, Rico, you can likewise use the code below to align your calculator to the right of your page. (Thanks for the suggestion!)

<div style="float:right;margin:0 0 8px 8px"><script src="https://fitzvillafuerte.com/calculator/million-pesos-calculator.js" type="text/javascript"></script><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="https://fitzvillafuerte.com/million-pesos-calculator.html">Click here to put this Calculator on your site.</a></span></div>

Alternatively, you can replace “float:right” with “float:left” in the code above if you want to align the calculator towards the left side.

  15. @technograph
    Thanks!

    @leo
    That’s still good news. How many 63 year old Filipino millionaires do you personally know? Not a lot right? Furthermore, what this means is that if you focus on increasing your monthly inputs and investing in financial instruments with higher rates of return, then you can reach that one million peso mark way before you retire. Good luck! 🙂

  16. fitz,

    thanks for dropping by in to my blog and for the comment.
    i wish also to add your “multi million calculator” to my blog but the texts are hidden or can’t be seen. I think I have to change the color of the text. Please help me how?

    Thanks.

  17. Hi Leo, the problem seems to be the background color of the calculator. I changed it to blue so that it will be readable for either black or white texts. Thanks for the notice. 😀

  19. brod fitz!

  20. Sige brod, I will research on that. Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment. Kwentuhan na lang tayo pag may meet-up ang mga brods. Ngayon alam niyo na kung saan ako pwede tawagin. Hehe. 😀

  24. […] Some of the most successful retail businesses actually began this way. A friend of mine who is now an importer of Christmas decors started his business by joining trade fairs and expositions. After a few years of dedication and passion for his craft, he has been able to build his own company and is now a millionaire. […]

    I am just an irish guy!

    Nakaka intende ako ang conteng tagalog…pero …. isang lesson lol, i have only had one lesson! so i need to learn more 😉

    What does “galing” mean? Does it mean “nice” or “great” or something?

    Thanks!

    Yes, very nice tool and very nice blog! Hope you got the email I sent you Fitz!

    Sige Paalam!

  35. Hi Fitz, the calculator is exactly what Ive been searching for quite sometime now, it’s really great! galing2! Thank you very much for sharing! God Bless!

  36. I love the The Million Pesos Calculator, now I have to increase my savings and decrease my expenses, thanks for sharing…

  37. ang galing naman nito sir fitz. mas madaling mavisualize tuloy kung kelan talaga aabot na magiging millionaire ako. matagal tagal pa pala. pero dahil dito sa calcu, puede kami mag adjust para mas mabilis namin marating ang target. Thanks again sir fitz! 🙂

  39. not everybody appears to notice but i think whatever savings someone has, it still calculates the same number of years to achieve the million basing from the monthly savings only, but yep its a good way to motivate someone, thanks for this Fritz. Im currently reading back issues of this blog.

  42. I want to attend your seminar on Aug but I’m based in Negros. Do you have any future seminars here in Visayas? It would help a lot of Filipinos here in this side of our country 🙂

  44. Sir Fitz, where can I continually invest my money that gives 5% monthly rate of return? I want to start investing while I’m young. 🙂 I’ve also read your posts about mutual fund and uitf already.

  45. sir Fitz thanks sa article mo at sa calculator na ito malapit na akong maging millionaire. ha ha ha

  49. Hi Fitz, can you please do a reverse calculator? Like if I want to have a profit of P200thou – P250thou, how much should I invest monthly ? 🙂

  51. Hi Fitz, effective ba talaga itong calculator mo? kase kung talagang effective base sa compute ko less than 3 years ma-reach ko yung million na sinasabi mo…Yun nga lang kung consistent ang income or continues pa ang contract ko sa work…
    Heheh…
