About the Emergency Fund Calculator – Goal Gap

An emergency fund — commonly three to six months of living expenses — protects you from job loss, medical bills or urgent repairs. This calculator shows how much of your target is still missing and how much to set aside each month to close the gap in time.

It uses a simple saving plan: the gap divided by the months left, with no interest or returns assumed.

How the gap is worked out

Gap = Goal amount − Already saved

Monthly amount = Gap ÷ Months left

If you have already saved more than the goal, the gap is zero.

Things to keep in mind

  • Keep the fund in an easily accessible place, such as a savings account or liquid fund.
  • Count essentials only — rent, food, EMIs, insurance and bills — when setting the target.
  • Refill the fund after you use it.
