Using the present or future tense in the main clause does not change the meaning of the sentence.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause (present tense/future tense)"

Hola Johan,
It wouldn't make sense if you say "if" instead of "in". What we mean in that statement is that whichever tense you use, the meaning of the whole sentence won't change.
Si ahorro bastante dinero voy/iré a Cuba.
Both tenses will refer to a "future event".
I hope this clarifies it.
Saludos
Inma
