How to interpret your result
Use the same pay period throughout; tax and benefit changes are excluded.
Use a consistent monthly or annual period for both income and expenses. A savings rate is a share of income, while an emergency fund is an amount based on a chosen expense horizon. Targets are assumptions you set rather than universal rules.
