Formula:

The core principle of FIRE involves reaching a point where your investment portfolio generates enough income to cover your annual expenses, allowing you to stop working. The most common rule for this is the 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate.

FIRE Number = Annual Expenses / (Safe Withdrawal Rate / 100)

Where:

Annual Expenses: Your estimated annual living costs in retirement.
Safe Withdrawal Rate: The percentage of your portfolio you can withdraw each year without running out of money (commonly 4%).

Our calculator then projects how long it will take to reach this FIRE Number based on your current savings, monthly contributions, and expected investment returns.
