Emergency Fund Builder

Answer six questions, get your personal emergency-fund target, a funded-by date, and a month-by-month savings schedule you can print and follow.

Educational modeling, not professional financial advice. This tool uses simple, conservative rules of thumb to estimate a savings target. It is not a financial plan, and it does not replace a licensed financial professional.

Monthly essential expenses ($)

Rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, insurance, transportation, and minimum debt payments. Not vacations, dining out, or hobbies.

Current emergency savings ($)

Money you could reach within a few days if you lost your income tomorrow. Enter 0 if you're starting from scratch.

Income earners in the household Job stability Amount you can set aside each month ($)

Be honest, not heroic — a smaller amount you actually save beats a big one you abandon in March.
