Calculate your Emergency Fund Needs
An emergency fund can be a vital shelter from the storm when unexpected financial calamity occurs. That could be a sudden illness or injury, loss of employment, a lawsuit — you name it. It’s the unexpected goblin that wasn’t factored into your financial planning process. But with the right amount of cash in the stash, you can rebound swimmingly.
Simply enter your monthly expenses in the fields below. Once you have a total budget, select how many months of savings you’d like to keep in your emergency fund. If you want to keep a copy of your results, input your email and a copy will be sent to you.
