Frequently Asked Questions

How is my retirement nest egg goal calculated?

The goal finder turns your desired annual retirement income and the number of years you expect to draw on your savings into a single target, assuming your portfolio keeps earning a modest 3% return after inflation while you withdraw from it.

What counts as financial independence or FIRE ready?

You're marked FIRE ready when your projected savings at your target retirement age meet or exceed your nest egg goal, meaning your plan is on pace without any changes.

What rate of return should I use?

Many long-term planners use a range between 5% and 8% for a diversified stock and bond portfolio before inflation. Lower it if you want a more conservative projection.

Does this calculator save my information anywhere?

Your numbers stay on your device only. They're stored in your browser's local storage purely so the form remembers your last entry, and nothing is sent to a server.

Is this financial advice?

No. This tool provides educational estimates based on the numbers you enter and simplified assumptions. Speak with a licensed financial advisor before making retirement decisions.
