This formula won't work for me.
I also have variable monthly income and so with some of my expenses.
I'm using this formula for the past several months:
income - expenses = investments
I'm not into savings and don't have any emergency fund.

This is a bad set-up actually in case unexpected circumstances dodge in.
Emergency fund should equates at least 6 months of your monthly salary/income.
