How it works

Target reserve equals essential monthly expenses multiplied by the coverage months you choose. The remaining amount is divided by the monthly contribution and rounded up to a complete month. Zero contributions cannot complete a positive gap.

Illustrative example

Expenses €1,200 × three months gives €3,600. With €600 saved and €150 monthly, the €3,000 gap takes 20 months.
