How long would my savings last if I lost my job?
A job loss can affect a household very differently depending on liquid savings, fixed costs, debt, investments and any temporary income or benefits. Styrvia lets you model the income interruption without pretending the exact date or duration is predictable.

Job loss: savings runway: illustrative result
The answer is a runway, not a verdict. Styrvia can show how long accessible money lasts after employment income stops, whether other income or benefits reduce the gap, and when the plan first needs an adjustment. The most important drivers are spending, accessible savings, benefit/other-income assumptions and the date income resumes.

Research unemployment benefits, notice or severance, insurance, tax changes and essential-cost flexibility before testing your runway.
What to look at in Styrvia
The main lens is liquidity: how long accessible money lasts before the household would need another source of funding. Longer-term wealth is secondary during a short income shock.
How long will my savings last if I lose my job?
The runway is the period accessible savings and investments can cover the gap after employment income stops. Styrvia projects the monthly or annual deficit, other income and benefits, then shows when accessible money reaches its lowest point or runs out.
Which expenses or income assumptions change the runway most?
The biggest drivers are usually household spending, the amount of accessible savings, any benefits or partner/other income, and how quickly employment income resumes. Changing those assumptions shows which levers extend or shorten the runway most.
Does the plan recover if income resumes after several months?
If income resumes before accessible money is exhausted, the model can show whether the household begins rebuilding reserves afterwards. Recovery may still take time if the job-loss period caused debt, asset sales or a large drawdown in accessible money.
