Financial Independence (FIRE) Calculator

Plan your freedom with precision. This Financial Independence Calculator projects your savings, contributions and returns to estimate the exact age you can retire early. It adjusts for inflation, fees, and safe withdrawal rates and then shows a clear, year-by-year path.

Inputs
$
Total invested amount in your portfolio today.
$
Optional: expected annual raise or savings increase.
$
What you want to spend each year once FI starts, in today's purchasing power.
$
e.g., rental, pension. Leave 0 if none.
Calculator will project year-by-year until this age (or until FI is reached).
Tip: Use whole numbers for amounts, decimals for rates (e.g., 7 or 7.5).
Summary
