Millionaire Calculator Implementation

``javascript function monthlyToReachGoal(goal, years, rate, initial = 0) { const monthlyRate = rate / 100 / 12; const months = years * 12;

// FV of lump sum const lumpSumFV = initial * Math.pow(1 + monthlyRate, months);

// Remaining needed const remaining = goal - lumpSumFV;

// PMT formula return remaining * monthlyRate / (Math.pow(1 + monthlyRate, months) - 1); }

function yearsToReachGoal(goal, monthlySaving, rate, initial = 0) { const monthlyRate = rate / 100 / 12; let balance = initial; let months = 0; while (balance < goal) { balance = balance * (1 + monthlyRate) + monthlySaving; months++; } return months / 12; }

console.log(monthlyToReachGoal(1000000, 30, 8, 0).toFixed(0)); // $671 ``

The key to becoming a millionaire: start now, save consistently, and let compound interest do the work.
