Your plan
Your 52-week savings challenge in riyals — every date and every deposit
One goal, a method and the day of the first deposit. You see how much to put aside each week, the growing total and a chart; the table prints on one A4 page.
Want a reminder on each deposit day?
The calendar file works without an account. The email reminder needs a free account so we know where to send it.- Print the table or keep the Excel file on your phone; tick each deposit.
- With the fixed amount you can set up a weekly standing transfer at your bank.
- The «From your salary» sheet adds a fixed share of each salary alongside the challenge.
Arithmetic only: increasing — week n × step, step = goal ÷ (1 + 2 + … + 52) rounded up to the halala (SAR 1 × 52 weeks = SAR 1,378); fixed — goal ÷ 52; decreasing — the same amounts in reverse. Not financial advice.
