Your FIRE Journey Summary

How We Calculate Your FIRE Journey

1. Annual Savings: Income × Savings Rate = ...

2. FIRE Target (4% Rule): Annual Expenses × 25 = ...

3. Yearly Growth: (Net Worth + Annual Savings) × (1 + Return Rate)

4. Inflation-Adjusted Target: FIRE Target × (1 + Inflation)years

5. Progress: (Current Net Worth ÷ Inflation-Adjusted Target) × 100%

FIRE is achieved when your net worth reaches or exceeds your inflation-adjusted target (≥100% progress)

Monte Carlo Simulation (Percentile Ranges)

This chart shows probability ranges from 100 simulated scenarios with market volatility (±15%). The shaded bands represent different likelihood outcomes: 10th-90th percentile (80% of outcomes) and 25th-75th percentile (50% of outcomes).

In 100 simulations:
Median time to FIRE: 18.8 years
10th to 90th %ile: 15.2 to 24.5 years
25th to 75th %ile: 17 to 21 years

Understanding FIRE & The 4% Rule

FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is a movement focused on achieving financial freedom through aggressive saving and smart investing.

The 4% Rule: Based on the Trinity Study, this rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your investment portfolio annually in retirement, adjusted for inflation, with a high probability your money will last 30+ years.

Your FIRE Target = Annual Expenses × 25 (because 1 ÷ 0.04 = 25)

Example: If you need A$80,000/year to live comfortably, your FIRE target is A$2,000,000. At 4% withdrawal, A$2M × 4% = A$80,000 per year.
