Learn more about this calculator▾
Enter monthly essential expenses, target months of coverage, current savings, and monthly contributions to estimate your emergency fund goal, funding gap, and timeline.
How to use this tool
Enter monthly living expenses, target months of coverage (for example 6), current emergency savings, how much you can save each month, and an optional annual yield on the fund. Calculate to see your target amount, gap, interest earned while saving, and timeline.
Worked example
Example: $4,000 monthly expenses with a 6-month target needs $24,000. With $8,000 saved and $800 saved monthly, you have a $16,000 gap reachable in about 20 months with no yield—or fewer months if the fund earns interest.
How it works
Multiplies monthly expenses by your target months of coverage to set a savings goal. Subtracts current savings to find the gap, then projects month-by-month deposits—optionally earning a savings yield—until you are fully funded.
