Retirement Savings Calculator

Small earnings. A bigger purpose.

Your debit card becomes a starting point
for their next chapter.

College savings do not have to begin with a large contribution. Give the cashback from purchases already in your budget a purpose: future tuition, books and education expenses. Regular contributions can help build a foundation over the years you have available.

01

Keep your debit card.

Link your existing card and keep the bank account you already use.

02

Reward planned spending.

Pay through OnestPay at eligible stores and earn cashback under the current offer.

03

Set rewards aside.

Give small amounts time.

Cashback requires eligible purchases paid through OnestPay. Savings and investment contributions are arranged separately; OnestPay does not automatically fund an education account or provide the illustrated investment return.

estimated cashback / month

These are indicative return assumptions for illustrating investment in an S&P 500 index mutual fund. They are not forecasts or guaranteed returns. Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive describe the selected assumptions, not the risk level of the fund. Actual returns may vary, and investments can lose value.

Sample values are provided for illustration. Replace them with your own figures. Cashback comes from your monthly amount entered above.

Your Savings Advantage

Congratulations! With $0 in additional contributions from your pocket, your cashback could help build your future.

You could build $32,237.17 for college over 20 yr .

This illustration starts at $0 and invests $60.00 in monthly cashback at an assumed 7.5% annual return. Actual returns and rewards can differ.

The 7.5% annual return is a hypothetical assumption, not a forecast. Contributions occur at month end. Taxes, fees and inflation are excluded.

Illustrative estimates only. Loan calculations assume a constant rate, monthly interest and payments, and extra cashback applied to principal each month. They exclude fees, penalties and changes in rewards. Savings calculations assume a constant annual return, monthly compounding and end-of-month contributions; they exclude taxes, fees and inflation. Returns can vary and losses are possible. Results are not guarantees.

These are ideas for using your rewards, not automatic OnestPay services. Each illustration applies the full monthly cashback estimate to one goal. Any payments or contributions must be arranged separately. Consider your loan terms and retirement-account rules before making additional payments or contributions.

The bigger picture

Little by little.
More for the years ahead.

A few dollars of cashback can feel small today. Set aside regularly, those rewards become contributions toward a future education. If invested, positive returns could add to the balance—although losses are possible too.

This illustration starts at $0 and shows only the cashback you enter. Your existing college savings remain separate.

Based on your calculator inputs

Your cashback could build college savings of $32,237.17.

Part of a bigger plan

A contribution to their future.
Room for your goals, too.

Cashback can supplement an education-savings plan. This calculator does not estimate total college costs or guarantee that your savings will cover them. As your priorities change, explore how rewards could support other goals.

A little clarity before you begin.

What does “$0 extra” mean?

The contributions in this illustration come entirely from cashback you earn, rather than additional money from your pocket. You still pay for your purchases, and saving or investing rewards must be arranged separately.

Does the calculator include existing college savings?

No. It starts at $0 and projects only your entered monthly cashback over the years until college.

Does this model a specific education account or 529 plan?

No. It is a general projection. Account rules, taxes, fees, contribution limits and any education-specific benefits or restrictions are not modeled.

Are the return assumptions guaranteed?

No. The 5%, 7.5% and 10% options are hypothetical annual-return assumptions, not forecasts or returns paid by OnestPay. Their labels describe the assumptions, not investment risk. Actual returns may be negative.

Will this tell me whether I have enough for college?

No. It shows the potential additional balance from cashback. It does not forecast tuition or other education costs, financial aid or your total savings needs.
