Common questions

What is a FIRE number?

Your FIRE number is the portfolio size that could sustain your planned annual spending indefinitely at a given withdrawal rate. It's commonly estimated as 25 times annual spending at a 4% withdrawal rate, though the exact multiple depends on the rate you choose.

Does this tool account for sequence-of-returns risk?

Not directly. This tool applies one constant assumed rate across the whole period, the same simplified approach as the typical 4% rule. In reality, two retirements with the same average return can turn out very differently depending on whether the bad years came early or late, known as sequence-of-returns risk. This tool answers how long your money lasts at a steady rate, not what happens under a specific real sequence of returns.
