Find your emergency fund target based on essential monthly expenses and desired months of coverage.
Multiplying your essential monthly expenses (the bills that don't stop if income does — housing, food, utilities, minimum debt payments) by however many months of coverage you want gives your target fund size. The calculator then compares that target against what you've already saved to show exactly how much further you have to go.
