Understanding reserve fund health

Your reserve fund is the financial safety net that protects your community from special assessments and deferred maintenance. Here's what the funding levels mean.

Below 30% funded

Critically underfunded. Your community is at high risk of needing a special assessment when a major component fails. Most reserve study professionals consider this the danger zone, and some states require disclosure of funding levels below 30%.

30-70% funded

Partially funded. You have some cushion but may still need a special assessment if multiple components fail in the same year. This is where most HOAs land. A plan to reach 70%+ within 5-10 years is a reasonable target.

Above 70% funded

Well funded. Your community can handle most planned and unplanned capital expenses from reserves. This is the gold standard that lenders and prospective buyers look for. Property values benefit from strong reserve health.

Tip: Get a professional reserve study

This calculator gives you a quick snapshot, but a professional reserve study provides a component-by-component analysis with on-site inspections, accurate useful life estimates, and a multi-year funding plan. Most experts recommend updating your reserve study every 3-5 years. Many states require it.
