| Stable salaried job | 3 months |
| Salaried with dependents | 6 months |
| Single income family | 8 months |
| Freelancer / Self-employed | 10 months |
| Business owner | 12 months |
Where to Keep Your Emergency Fund#
- 1 month in your savings account (instant access)
- Remaining in a liquid mutual fund (T+1 withdrawal, better returns)
Important#
Never put your emergency fund in stocks, FDs with penalties, or locked instruments. It needs to be safe and accessible.
