Emergency Fund Calculator
Emergency Fund: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers monthly essential expenses (currency). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Emergency Fund Calculator is a planned calculator in the finance section of Super Calculator, covering savings and cash.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: monthly essential expenses (currency), income stability, dependents and existing liquid savings (currency).
Outputs: recommended fund size (currency), months of coverage currently held and monthly saving to close the gap (currency).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Target equals essential monthly outgoings multiplied by a months of coverage factor, where the factor is adjusted for income volatility, dependents, and the presence of statutory income protection. There is no single authoritative factor, and the three to six month convention is a rule of thumb, not a standard.
