How this Emergency Fund Calculator works

This tool sums up your essential monthly expenses (housing, food, utilities) and multiplies them by your desired coverage duration (usually 3-6 months) to give you a specific savings target.

Why this matters for your wealth

An emergency fund is your financial shield. It prevents a job loss, car repair, or medical bill from forcing you into credit card debt. Before you invest aggressively, you must have this safety net in place.
