Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I save for an emergency fund?

Financial experts typically recommend 3-6 months of living expenses for emergencies. If you have stable employment, 3 months may suffice. If your income is variable or job security is uncertain, aim for 6 months or more. Our calculator helps you determine the exact amount based on your monthly expenses.

What's the difference between simple and compound interest?

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on both the principal and accumulated interest. Compound interest creates exponential growth over time, making it much more powerful for long-term savings. Our calculator shows both to help you understand the impact.

Should I consider inflation in my savings planning?

Yes, inflation reduces purchasing power over time. Money saved today will buy less in the future due to inflation. Our inflation-adjusted calculator shows how much you need to save to maintain the same purchasing power, helping you set realistic long-term savings goals.

How often should I contribute to my savings?

More frequent contributions (monthly vs annually) can increase your total savings due to compound interest effects. Monthly contributions are also easier to budget and create consistent saving habits. Our calculator can show you the difference between various contribution frequencies.
