Although it depends on healthy emergency fund is essential for maintaining financial stability. It should ideally be sufficient to pay for three to six months' worth of necessities. This fund serves as a safety net in case of unforeseen circumstances such as job loss, urgent medical needs, or unanticipated bills.

The required quantity may differ depending on personal factors like the number of dependents and the stability of one's income. Having this safety net helps prevent future debt by preventing dependence on credit cards or loans, which can cause anxiety. Ensuring long-term financial stability requires regular saving and prioritizing the establishment and upkeep of an emergency fund.

In my opinion, emergency funds would be better if prepared from a productive age or as early as possible. Apart from investment and insurance, emergency funds are also very necessary to maintain personal financial stability. So basically everyone really needs to understand and learn how to determine the amount of emergency funds.

How to Calculate Emergency Funds
To calculate emergency funds is very easy and simple, we only need to collect expenditure data for at least three months and calculate the average monthly expenditure.

Emergency Fund Target
Next we need to determine the amount of emergency funds we need multiplied by the average monthly expenses, such as for singles 3 to 6 months, married without children 7 months to 12 months. Married have children 13 months to 20 months.

Example of calculating emergency funds for those who are not married or single. If our average expenditure is $1000 then the emergency fund we need is at least $3000.
