Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) is a movement focused on extreme savings and investment that allows people to retire far earlier than traditional retirement planning and budgets would permit. The core principle is simple: by living below your means and investing the difference, you can build enough wealth to cover your living expenses without needing to work.
The foundation of FIRE planning. This rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your investment portfolio annually in retirement without running out of money. To calculate your FIRE number, multiply your annual expenses by 25. For example, if you spend $40,000 per year, you'd need $1 million saved.
Your savings rate is the most important factor in reaching FIRE. A 50% savings rate could get you to FIRE in about 17 years, while a 75% savings rate could cut that to around 7 years.
Time and compound returns are your greatest allies. Starting early makes an enormous difference — even small amounts invested in your 20s can grow substantially by the time you reach traditional retirement age.
Living on a minimal budget in retirement, typically $25,000–$40,000 per year. Best for those who value simplicity and minimalism.
Maintaining a comfortable or luxurious lifestyle in retirement, typically $100,000+ per year. Takes longer to achieve but provides more financial cushion.
Saving enough to cover most expenses, then working part-time to cover the gap and provide health insurance.
Saving aggressively early on, then letting compound growth do the work while you just cover current expenses. Try our Coast FIRE calculator →
