About FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early)

FIRE is a financial movement focused on extreme savings and investment to enable early retirement. The core principles include:

  • Savings Rate: The percentage of your income you save determines how quickly you can reach financial independence.
  • FIRE Number: The amount of investments needed to generate enough passive income to cover your expenses.
  • Safe Withdrawal Rate: The percentage of your portfolio you can withdraw annually without depleting it (typically 4%).
  • FIRE Types:
    • Traditional FIRE: 25x annual expenses invested
    • Lean FIRE: Minimalist lifestyle with lower expenses
    • Fat FIRE: More luxurious lifestyle requiring more savings
    • Coast FIRE: Enough invested that it will grow to your FIRE number without additional contributions
    • Barista FIRE: Part-time work to cover some expenses and possibly health insurance

This calculator helps you determine your path to financial independence based on your current financial situation and future assumptions.
