How it works

Each component's cost grows with inflation until the year it is replaced, then it is scheduled again one useful life later. Each year's balance is last year's balance plus your contribution and interest, minus whatever falls due. The recommended contribution is the lowest first-year amount, rising by your yearly increase, that never lets the balance drop below your minimum. The full method is in how to do a reserve study yourself.

The example shown is a 48-unit association. Replace it with your own numbers. This is a planning tool, not a professional reserve study; check what your state requires.

What the calculator leaves out

It does not save your work, and it shows the result without the year-by-year detail. The Reserve Study Kit workbook keeps your numbers in a file you own, holds 40 components, shows every year's contribution, interest, expenses and percent funded, takes special assessments, and prints a one-page summary for the board.
