What it does
Uses the safe withdrawal rate method to compute the corpus needed for Financial Independence & Early Retirement (FIRE), and whether your current plan reaches it.
FIRE formula
Target corpus = annual expenses at retirement ÷ safe withdrawal rate (typically 3-4%).
Typical output
₹9L annual expenses today at 6% inflation over 25 years, with 3.5% SWR, requires a corpus of ~₹11 Cr at retirement.
Best used for
The aggressive version of retirement planning — building a larger corpus to quit earlier and live off withdrawals.

How It Works

This is the drill-down layer. The flagship flow leads with a recommendation, and this page lets you inspect the underlying model.

  • Future annual expenses are inflated to the retirement year.
  • FIRE target = inflated annual expenses / safe withdrawal rate.
  • Projected corpus combines current corpus growth and future contributions.

Assumptions

The recommendation stays blunt, but the assumptions remain visible.

  • Withdrawal safety depends on market returns, inflation, and lifestyle flexibility.
  • This is a planning model, not a retirement guarantee.

FAQ

The follow-up questions people usually ask after the main recommendation is already clear.

What withdrawal rate should I use?

Many people test 3% to 4%, but the right number depends on retirement length, asset mix, and flexibility.

Why can small inflation changes matter so much?

Because long-horizon retirement math compounds inflation over many years, which materially changes the required corpus.
