Federer, who already has a record 16 majors, believes the target is realistic despite losing his grip on his French Open and Wimbledon crowns this year to see his ranking tumble to three in the world.
"I believe that having won three Grand Slams per season three times, and two per year a couple of times, it's something do-able for me," Federer told the BBC.
"I only play 16-20 tournaments per year, so I'm not over-playing, and that keeps the fire burning."
The 29-year-old Federer added he still has plenty of motivation to keep playing even though he has been surpassed in the rankings by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. "At times I was one or two sets away from winning the calendar-year Grand Slam so obviously I feel that I have a great potential in Grand Slam play. But then again Grand Slams are not everything," he said.
"I'm giving 100 percent for each and every tournament that I play because I don't play a ton of tournaments.
