Frequently asked questions

Should I use all monthly expenses or only essentials?

This tool works best with essential expenses like housing, utilities, food, insurance, and debt obligations you must keep paying.

Why show 3-month and 6-month benchmarks too?

Because those are common planning reference points, even when you choose a different target for your own reserve.

Does this assume the savings earn interest?

No. This version keeps the reserve-growth math simple and treats progress as contributions plus the current balance already saved.
