    To save up £2000, by saving £100 a month,
    it will take you 10 months.



    Started with £1000. I assume it does not add interest if less than one year? If so then fine.

    Looks good so far.

    However, the "I'm saving up..." for option doesn't work, there's a message at the bottom of the screen that says "error on page"

    To save up £3000, by saving £100 a month,
    it will take you 2 years and 5 months.

    This time started with £0, and 5% interest, so that sounds right.
    Is it any particular problem you are having?

    The only one im having problems with is 'Im saving up for' - im also getting an error message in the corner of the page and no calculation. The others seem fine though!
