How it works

Enter the amount you want to save, what you already have, and when you want to reach the target. PacePot shows the monthly pace and lets you compare different what-if amounts.

  • Create a car target.
  • Add saved amounts whenever you move money aside.
  • Track whether you are early, on track, or late.

Practical examples

£3,000 car deposit

Over 12 months, that is about £250 per month from zero.

£1,200 repairs fund

Saving £100 per month builds this in roughly one year.

Insurance renewal

Set the renewal date as the deadline and track the monthly pace.

Car savings FAQ

Can I use this as a car deposit savings calculator?

Yes. Set the deposit amount as your target and choose the date you want it ready.

Should I include insurance and tax?

You can create one larger target or separate targets for each cost.

Does PacePot tell me what car I can afford?

No. It helps track savings goals, not lending or affordability advice.
