You haven't sent the output, just the code...

Look closely at main()
def main():
goal, apr, deposit = getSavingsDetails()
determineMonthsTilSaved( goal, apr, deposit )
months = determineMonthsTilSaved(goal, apr, deposit)
You call the function twice, so it runs twice.
def determineMonthsTilSaved( goal, apr, deposit ):
months = 0
saved = 0
totalInterest = 0.0
while saved < goal:
interest = saved * apr / 12
totalInterest += interest
saved += (deposit + interest)
months += 1
print( months, ("%.2f" % saved), ("%.2f" % totalInterest) )
return months
