Emergency Fund Calculator

How Our Emergency Fund Calculator Works

Our Emergency Fund Calculator helps Indian users plan a financial safety net in Indian Rupees (₹). It estimates the recommended fund size (6 months of expenses), your current shortfall, and the time to reach your goal based on monthly contributions and expected returns. A pie chart shows the breakdown of current savings, additional contributions, and interest earned.

Calculation Logic

The calculator targets 6 months of expenses (e.g., ₹3,00,000 for ₹50,000 monthly expenses). It calculates the shortfall (e.g., ₹2,00,000 if you have ₹1,00,000 saved) and uses compound interest to estimate time to goal with contributions (e.g., ₹10,000/month at 6% return). For example, it may take 18 months to reach ₹3,00,000. The pie chart visualizes current savings (₹1,00,000), contributions (₹1,80,000), and interest (20,000).

Steps to Use

Enter your monthly expenses (e.g., ₹50,000).

Input your current savings (e.g., ₹1,00,000).

Specify your monthly contribution (e.g., ₹10,000).

Enter the expected annual return (e.g., 6%).

Click "Calculate" to view fund size, shortfall, time, and pie chart.
