Monthly Contribution Step-Up Table
Build a month-by-month savings contribution schedule with a fixed cash increase each month and a cumulative contribution total.
Starting at 100.00 and adding 10.00 each month produces 100.00, 110.00, 120.00, 130.00, 140.00, and 150.00: 750.00 over six months.

How to use the Monthly Contribution Step-Up Table
Use this to sketch a gradual contribution habit when you want each later month’s deposit to grow by the same cash amount.
What to enter
Enter the first monthly deposit, the amount added to each subsequent month, and a whole number of months. Keep deposits and steps in one currency.
Worked example
Starting at 100.00 and adding 10.00 each month produces 100.00, 110.00, 120.00, 130.00, 140.00, and 150.00: 750.00 over six months.
How to read the result
The table shows the planned deposit for each month and the cumulative sum. The summary is contributions only, not the value of an interest-bearing account.
Method
For month one use the entered starting deposit. Add the fixed step multiplied by elapsed months, then accumulate those deposits in cents.
What to check
The step is a fixed amount, not a percentage. Interest, fees, skipped months, withdrawal dates, and income constraints are excluded.
Avoid this mistake
Entering a percentage in the step field. For a ten-percent increase, this fixed-step worksheet is the wrong model.

Questions to check
Can the step be zero?
Yes. The table then shows an equal deposit every month.
Does this compound savings?
No. It simply accumulates deposits.
Can I export the schedule?
Yes. Calculate, then download the CSV table.
