What is the FIRE Movement?
FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is a global movement dedicated to extreme savings and aggressive investing, allowing individuals to retire in their 30s or 40s instead of the traditional age of 60.
The 4% Rule & FIRE Calculation
The core of FIRE is the 25x rule (or 4% rule). To be financially independent, your invested corpus must be 25 times your annual expenses. Once achieved, you can safely withdraw 4% of your corpus annually, adjusted for inflation, without ever running out of money. Our FIRE calculator accurately adjusts for Indian inflation metrics to give you your personalized target.
