Tune your plan
How risk averse are you?
Quite a bit = 12 months of costs saved
How we counted
Savings needs to cover $3,250 a month for 12 months, plus a 15% cushion — that's $44,850.
What your side business really covers
Your side business brings in $4,500 a month, and you keep half of it — $2,250. That already pays part of your $5,500 in living costs, so savings only has to carry $3,250 a month on its own.
Multiply by 12 safety months
You picked Quite a bit on how risky going solo feels, which sets the net at $3,250 × 12 = $39,000.
Add a cushion for real life
Life never stays exactly on budget, so we add 15% for surprises — $39,000 → $44,850.
Take away what you've already saved
$44,850 − $5,000 = $39,850 — that's the gap left to fill.
Divide by what you save each month
You put aside $2,750 a month right now, which fills the gap in 1 year and 3 months.
