You have housing and fixed expenses of $813.52/month. You want to have a 6-month emergency fund and you want to have it funded in 18 months. How much must you save per month?

Since the expenses are fixed at $813.52/month, a 6-month emergency fund will be 6 times this value.


813.52*6=4881.12

The fund must have $4881.12.

Since this will be funded in 18 months, we just need to divide the total amount of the fund by 18 to find how much must be saved per month.


(4881.12)/(18)=271.173333333\ldots\approx271.17

$271.17 must be saved monthly.
