Insurance playbook
How the target is calculated

The monthly figure funds the expected spikes of the next 12 months plus an annual share of your emergency reserve:

monthlyTarget = ⌈ ( Σ spikes × probability + emergencyReserve ÷ 12 ) ÷ 12 ⌉
  • Every amount is compounded from its source date to the event date at 3% a year for this breed.
  • Breed conditions appear at full cost but count toward the target only when a published incidence figure exists. Without one they are covered by the emergency reserve.
  • With insurance, condition and emergency costs are reduced by a 90% reimbursement after a $250 deductible, the same plan as step 5 of the calculator. Routine care is not reimbursed.
  • Scheduled care uses published national averages where we have them (dental cleaning, spay/neuter, vaccine boosters and blood chemistry, from CareCredit’s vet cost table); the puppy or kitten vaccine series is a share of the breed’s own cost line and is labeled a general estimate. Ages and repeat intervals are our schedule, not a published guideline. This is a budgeting estimate, not veterinary advice.
