Understand the result
Method & assumptions
Target = monthly essentials × selected months + one-time needs. Gap = max(0, target − reserve). Months = ceiling(gap ÷ monthly savings).
Hypothetical worked example
$2,000 essentials × 3 months = $6,000. A $2,000 reserve and $500 monthly savings close the gap in 8 months.
Scope and limitations
- User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
- No interest or changing expenses modeled. Choose a reserve horizon appropriate to your circumstances.
