Emergency Fund Calculator
Emergency Fund Calculator
Estimate how much cash you should keep aside in an emergency fund based
on your monthly essential expenses and your
risk profile.
Include only must-pay items: housing, food, basic
transport, school fees, minimum loan repayments, utilities.
Very stable: permanent job, few dependants. Suggested minimum: 3 months of expenses.
These help estimate how long it may take you to reach your target.
Please enter sensible values (expenses, savings and contributions cannot be negative).
đź’ˇ Rule of thumb: increase your emergency fund target if you have
dependants, debt, or
unstable income.
