Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) Strategy

Your FIRE Number represents the target investment portfolio size where your annual expenses are fully covered by a safe, inflation-adjusted withdrawal rate (typically 3% to 4%) indefinitely.

Formula & Mathematical Approach

Calculates the target corpus and years to reach Financial Independence / Retire Early (FIRE).

FIRE Corpus=Annual Expenses×100Safe Withdrawal Rate\text{FIRE Corpus} = \text{Annual Expenses} \times \frac{100}{\text{Safe Withdrawal Rate}}
Show Plain Text / Excel Formula
FIRE Corpus = Annual Expenses * (100 / Safe Withdrawal Rate)

Key Assumptions

  • Uses the Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR, e.g. 4%) to size the portfolio.
  • Annual expenses are adjusted for inflation.
  • No other post-retirement active income is assumed.
