The emergency funds is expected to keep accumulating till it becomes oceanic enough to cover up for any kind of emergency. It is not supposed to be withdrawn for anything else.

For me the money set aside for the emergency would remain on the account and accumulate with the money saved on that account.

Well, many people would simply not spend money that month. Saving as much money as possible is good thing. So, in such cases people may have enough money in case if they face emergency in the future.

When no emergency arises, I don't touch the monthly emergency fund allocation. Instead, I let it accumulate in a separate savings account.

If I have a monthly emergency fund kept aside and there is no emergency for that month, I we simply keep it and include it to next month.

I think emergency funds should be long term, not a monthly thing. So if nothing happens that month, you can keep saving. You never know when the emergency will occur next.

I will not spend any amount of money in the emergency fund even if there is no emergency. I'll just let it accumulate because you never know what kind of emergency you may encounter and how much money you need.
