How the calculation works

The base target multiplies essential monthly expenses by desired coverage months. Optional risk factors adjust the buffer without hiding the original target.

Create a planning range for income interruptions or urgent expenses. Personal circumstances may justify a different target.

Important financial information

This calculator provides an educational estimate from the values you enter. It does not use live prices, predict returns or provide investment, tax or legal advice. Verify exchange rules, fees, rates and product terms before making a financial decision.

Private, fast and mobile-ready

The workspace runs with browser JavaScript and does not submit entered values to a Rantey calculation endpoint. Controls use readable labels, large touch targets and responsive result panels for narrow screens.
