Frequently asked questions

What interest rate should I use?
Use the current rate of your savings account. High-yield savings accounts currently offer 4-5% APY. A regular bank savings account typically offers 0.01-0.5%. Using the actual rate of where your money will be held gives the most accurate result.
How much should I have in an emergency fund?
Most financial experts recommend 3-6 months of living expenses. If your monthly expenses are $3,000, aim for $9,000-$18,000. Those with variable income or jobs in volatile industries should aim for 6-12 months.
