Frequently asked questions
Complete guide to Emergency Fund Calculator
What is an emergency fund calculator?
An emergency fund calculator helps you determine how much to save for emergencies — typically 3–6 months of essential expenses. Enter your monthly expenses (rent, utilities, food, insurance, minimum debt payments) and the number of months you want to cover. It gives you a target amount and, if you input current savings and monthly contribution, how long until you reach it.
Why an emergency fund matters
- Covers job loss, medical bills, or urgent repairs without going into debt.
- Keeps you from dipping into retirement or long-term investments.
- 3 months is a minimum; 6 months is safer, especially with variable income or dependents.
- Keep it in a liquid account (savings or money market), not in stocks.
