An emergency fund can be used to pay for essential expenses and propel you through a tough time. It should cover your take home pay for at least three months, but ideally six. This calculator shows you how much you need to save each month to reach your emergency fund savings goal. Enter the appropriate inputs and make your way through the pages of the calculator. On the expense slide, use the dropdown arrows for each expense to adjust the label or delete it entirely.
