Emergency Fund Formula
Emergency Fund Goal = Monthly Expenses × Coverage Months
Months to Goal = (Goal - Current) / Monthly Savings
Progress = (Current / Goal) × 100%
An emergency fund provides financial security during unexpected events like job loss, medical emergencies, or major repairs.

Everyone's emergency fund needs are different. Adjust coverage months based on your job security, income stability, and family situation.
