Emergency Fund Calculator
Sleep-at-night money, sized for your life.
A furnace, a transmission, a slow month at work. Size the cushion that turns an emergency into an inconvenience, then get a monthly plan to build it.
Rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, insurance, the bills that do not pause when life does.
Months of cushion
Three months is a start, six is the classic target, nine suits variable income.
We keep the math simple and assume no interest. Whatever your savings account earns along the way is a bonus.

Why it matters
The cheapest insurance you will ever own.
A buffer, not a loan
With a cushion in place, a dead water heater comes out of savings instead of going on a card at 22 percent.
Separate but reachable
Keep it in its own savings account, away from the spending money but ready the same day you need it.
