## How this is calculated

Estimates the emergency fund corpus a household should target, based on essential expenses, employment stability, dependents, and health insurance, plus how many months it will take to reach it.

**Formula:** `target = (expenses x monthsMultiplier) + (dependents > 1 ? base x 0.10 x (dependents - 1) : 0) + (insured ? 0 : 100000)`

**Variables:**

- `monthsMultiplier`: 4 (salaried-stable), 6 (salaried-variable), 8 (freelancer), 10 (business owner)
- `base`: expenses x monthsMultiplier
- `dependents`: Number of dependents (surcharge applies only beyond the first)
- `insured`: Whether the household has health insurance

Reference: Months-of-expenses rule of thumb consistent with ET Money and Groww emergency-fund guides; adjustments are an original heuristic, see packages/calculator-core/src/emergency-fund.ts.

## Assumptions

- The months-multiplier is a widely cited rule of thumb (3-6 months salaried, 6-12 months variable/self-employed income); the exact point-values and the dependent/medical adjustments are this calculator's own heuristic, not a single published calculator's output.
- The EMI danger flag approximates income as expenses + EMI (no income field is collected), so it is a deliberately conservative, early warning rather than an exact 40%-of-income test.
- The medical buffer for an uninsured household (Rs 1,00,000) is a representative point estimate within the commonly cited Rs 50,000-1,50,000 range.

### Is this target still relevant if I already have some savings?

Yes. Enter your current emergency savings balance in the calculator to see exactly how much more you still need, and how many months it will take at your chosen monthly savings rate.
