Introducing the Emergency Fund Calculator — Size Your Safety Net

An emergency fund is the buffer that keeps a job loss or surprise bill from becoming debt. The hard part is knowing how much you actually need — so the new Emergency Fund Calculator sizes it to your own expenses and shows when you’ll get there.

What it does

• Recommended fund size: based on your real essential monthly expenses.
• 3 / 6 / 12-month tiers: see each target and whether you already cover it.
• Progress bar: how close you are to a full safety net right now.
• Completion date: a projected finish line based on your monthly contribution.
• Client-side: no figures are uploaded.

Why it matters

“Save more” stays vague without a target. Sizing the fund to your actual expenses — not a generic number — turns it into a concrete, reachable goal with a date attached.

This tool is informational only and not financial advice. Your right number depends on your personal circumstances.
