Can you and your family survive a financial crisis?

Liquid (cash) asset poverty measures the minimum amount of cash savings (i.e., cash, retirement savings, checking account, etc.) a household would need to get by at the poverty level in the event that an emergency left them without income. How much a household would need in cash savings to avoid falling below this conservative threshold varies by household size.

Use this calculator to determine how much in liquid savings your household would need to avoid falling into liquid asset poverty.
