What this calculator is

A sizing guide for cash you can reach quickly — months of essential expenses, not an investment return.

How to read the result

The hero is the target. The gap is simply target minus what you already have. The chart is a straight build-up, not compounding.

Please keep in mind

Figures are illustrative, based only on the assumptions you type. They are not a forecast, guarantee, tax computation or a recommendation to buy any product. It does not tell you where to hold the money or that everyone needs the same number of months.
