How it works

Target fund = essential monthly expenses × months of cover. Count only essentials — rent, food, utilities, school, insurance — not luxuries. Keep the fund in an instantly accessible account, separate from daily spending.

Estimates only — not financial advice. Rates, slabs and prices change; confirm live figures with your bank, broker or the FBR before acting. Calculations run in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
