How it works: Your FIRE Number is calculated as Annual Spending ÷ Safe Withdrawal Rate. Portfolio growth uses compound interest: FV = PV × (1+r)ⁿ + PMT × ((1+r)ⁿ−1) / r. Years to FIRE is solved iteratively until your projected portfolio meets or exceeds your FIRE Number. All returns are inflation-adjusted.
