How this FIRE Calculator works
FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) relies on aggressive saving. This calculator estimates your time to freedom based on the gap between your income and spending. The higher your savings rate, the faster you reach your 'number'.
Why this matters for your wealth
Standard retirement ages are arbitrary. If you save 50% of your income, you can retire in roughly 17 years starting from zero. This calculator lets you play with the variables to design a life where work is optional.
