Common questions
How is the FIRE number calculated?
Divide your yearly spending by your withdrawal rate. At 4%, that’s 25 times your spending: $40,000 a year needs $1 million invested.
Why use a return after inflation?
It keeps everything in today’s dollars, so your FIRE number and spending don’t need adjusting for future prices.
