Frankly the team are frantic, with the server problems, we're trying to replace lots of threads to get the email out - and i need your help to check if this is working at speed. If you spot errors in the calc please click reply below.

Thanks everyone for your patience, we're having a bit of a technical nightmare at the moment and all at MSE Towers are working long hours with high stress.

Worked OK for me until I got to the third option:

I'm saving up for... How long will it take etc

I put all the details in but when I went to click on the red "how Much" button it wasn't working as a button could not click on it - if that helps sorry not very techy in description.

Handly tool when its sussed though I like it even if it did tell me it would take 20 years to save up for doors and windows!

I didn't notice there were three options... The 'I'm Saving Up For...' says 'You Should Save £NaN a month' rather than giving an actual figure...

"I'm saving up for..." refused to calculate. Varied the numbers but still no joy.

EDIT - using IE7, if that helps

Depends on what the 'error' tolerance is, but I put in a savings amount of £229900, an interest rate of 4.99% and a monthly savings amount of £1014.16 and it returned 15 years and 1 month for the second option and and 15 years and 0 months on the third option.

Now that's close enough for me, but I'm not sure how picky you want to be...
