How big your buffer should be and how many months it takes to get there. Calculated in your browser; nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Emergency fund
Most guides suggest three to six months of essential costs: rent, groceries, insurance, transport. Pick more months if your income is irregular.
Keep your buffer in a separate savings account that you can reach within a few days, not in investments.
