How this is calculated
Your FIRE number is your annual expenses divided by your withdrawal rate (the classic "4% rule" assumes you can safely withdraw 4% of your portfolio per year). We then project your current savings and monthly contributions forward until the balance reaches that number.
This is an educational estimate, not financial advice.
