First-Time Buyer Savings Calculator

The First-Time Buyer Savings Calculator helps first-time buyers estimate how much they need to save before buying a home. Enter your target property price, preferred deposit percentage, current savings and planned monthly contribution to create a realistic savings target.

What the Calculator Includes

The calculator automatically includes first-time buyer Stamp Duty for properties in England and Northern Ireland, along with conveyancing, property survey, mortgage, moving and other buying costs. You can also include an emergency reserve so that your savings are not completely used on the deposit and purchase fees.

What Your Results Show

Your results show the required deposit, estimated buying costs, total savings target, remaining savings gap and approximate number of months needed to reach your goal. You can enter a preferred purchase date to see the monthly amount required or compare 5%, 10% and 15% deposit scenarios.

How the savings timeline is calculated: The timeline is based only on your current savings and monthly contributions. It does not assume that your savings will earn interest, providing a simpler and more cautious estimate.
