Building an emergency fund: Calculate how much to save
Saving for a rainy day, whether medical mishap or loss of income, requires regular contributions.
Many financial advisers agree that it's best to have an emergency saving fund that's equal to 3 ― 6 months of your expenses. Our calculator will help you identify what your monthly expenses are so you can determine what could be a good emergency fund amount. After you have determined your total monthly expenses you can multiply that amount by the number of months you'd like to have an emergency account for.
