Frequently asked questions
- How does the 100 envelope challenge work?
- You label 100 envelopes 1 to 100. Each day you pull one out and put that many dollars in it. Over 100 days the amounts add up. This chart replaces the envelopes with a grid you cross off, so you do not need 100 real envelopes.
- How much do you save with the 100 envelope challenge?
- You save $5,050. Adding every number from 1 to 100 comes to 5,050, so completing the full grid puts that much aside.
- Do I have to save one envelope a day?
- No. One a day finishes in about three months, but you can go at any pace. Pick a bigger number on a good week and a small one when money is tight, in any order you like.
- Can I make the challenge smaller?
- Yes. Filling only the first 50 numbers saves $1,275, and sticking to the lower numbers keeps each deposit small. To plan toward a specific target instead, try the Savings Goal Calculator on this site.
