How it works

The target is your essential monthly spending multiplied by the number of months of cover you want. Subtracting what you already have gives the gap, and dividing it by your monthly saving gives the months remaining.

Frequently asked questions

How many months should I cover?

Three months is a common minimum; six is safer, and freelancers or single-income households often aim for nine to twelve.

Which expenses count as essential?

Housing, utilities, food, transport, insurance, minimum debt payments and childcare — not holidays or subscriptions.
