What you get

  • Nothing is uploaded.The sum runs in your browser. Your numbers are never sent anywhere.
  • Target and time together.One answer for how much, one for how long.
  • Assumptions you control.Return and withdrawal rate are yours to change.

What you can do

  • Get the target: yearly spending divided by the withdrawal rate. At 4% and 30,000 a year that is 750,000.
  • See the time to reach it, in years and months, from what you hold and what you add monthly.
  • Try other rates, for example 3.5% instead of the 4% rule of thumb.
  • Get a clear message when you have already reached the target.
  • Choose Euro, US dollar, Pound or Swiss franc.

Good to know

  • The 4% rate is a common rule of thumb, not a guarantee.
  • It assumes a constant return, and your monthly saving stays the same. Real returns vary, and fees, taxes and inflation are not included.
  • If the target is not reached within 100 years, the tool says so.
  • It is an estimate from your own numbers, not financial, tax or investment advice.

Questions

What is a FIRE number?

It is the amount you need so that your yearly spending equals the withdrawal rate of the pot. With a 4% rate it is 25 times your yearly spending.

What is the 4% rule?

A rule of thumb that you can withdraw about 4% of your pot a year. It comes from past US data and is no guarantee.

Does it include inflation or taxes?

No. Use a return after costs and think about inflation in your spending figure.
