How this calculation works
Calculate your target FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) portfolio number based on the 4% rule and estimate how many years of saving remain.
Mathematical formula and logic
Target FIRE Number = Annual Expenses / (Safe Withdrawal Rate / 100).
Worked example
Annual expenses of $40,000 at a 4% safe withdrawal rate require a $1,000,000 FIRE corpus.
Calculation assumptions
- Safe withdrawal rate accounts for long-term inflation.
- Investment returns compound annually.
- Personal tax rates depend on jurisdiction.
