How To Use
Find out when work becomes optional — based on YOUR actual numbers
🚀 Getting Started
1
Enter Your Income & Expenses
After-tax income (what actually hits your account) and total annual spending. The gap between these two numbers is the most important metric in FIRE.
2
Add Your Invested Assets
Everything invested for growth: 401k, IRA, brokerage, HSA. Don't include home equity, emergency fund, or checking accounts.
3
See Your FIRE Date
Your FIRE number (25x expenses), years to reach it, and Coast/Barista FIRE alternatives. Adjust the savings rate slider to see how powerful small changes are.
4
Explore Scenarios
Traditional FIRE, Coast FIRE (stop saving and let compounding finish), and Barista FIRE (work part-time to cover basic expenses). Pick your path.
📊 Terms Made Simple
FIRE Number: 25 times your annual expenses. This is the portfolio size where you can live off investments forever using the 4% rule. Spend $45K/year? Your FIRE number is $1,125,000.
Savings Rate: The percentage of take-home pay you invest. This is the single biggest lever in FIRE. Going from 20% to 40% can cut a decade off your timeline.
Coast FIRE: The point where your current investments will grow to your FIRE number by age 65 — even if you never save another dollar. You just need to cover current expenses.
Barista FIRE: You have enough invested that part-time income covers your expenses while investments grow. Named because you could work at a coffee shop and still be on track.
4% Rule: Withdraw 4% of your portfolio per year in retirement. Based on the Trinity Study — historically, this rate has survived 30+ years of withdrawals through every market condition.
