This comprehensive FIRE calculator provides detailed insights into your financial independence journey with category-wise expense tracking, inflation adjustment, passive income integration, and sophisticated investment allocation strategies.

Advanced Features for Precise Retirement Planning:

Category-wise Expense Tracking: Break down your expenses into multiple categories with individual inflation rates for accurate projections
Multiple Expense Types: Track lifetime expenses, short-term expenses (like children's education), and one-time big-ticket items
Passive Income Integration: Factor in rental income, dividends, and other passive income sources

Why Category-Wise Inflation Matters:

Unlike basic calculators that use average inflation, our advanced retirement calculator recognizes that different expense categories inflate at different rates. Healthcare costs, education, and travel expenses often increase faster than general inflation, while technology and entertainment may decrease. This detailed approach ensures your retirement corpus accurately reflects your lifestyle needs.

Investment Strategy Planning:

Our advanced FIRE calculator helps you plan your post-retirement investment allocation, balancing between secure, low-return investments for near-term expenses and higher-risk, higher-return investments for long-term growth. This strategic allocation reduces volatility risk while maximizing your retirement corpus longevity.

Complete Financial Independence Planning:

Whether you're planning for traditional retirement or pursuing early retirement through the FIRE movement, our advanced calculator provides the detailed analysis you need. Calculate exactly how much you need to retire, plan your investment strategy, and track your progress toward financial independence with confidence.

The table below shows how your retirement fund performs against rising expenses. Each row includes: (A) total yearly expense, including inflated and lifestyle-adjusted buffer expenses; (B) passive income grown at the provided rate and adjusted for tax; (C) your starting and ending withdrawal account balance for the year; (D) growth of your proposed corpus in each bucket; (E) growth of your current corpus in each bucket. The calculator deducts the required withdrawal balance from investments, adjusts for taxes, and reallocates the remaining investments based on the allocation ratio. This reshuffle occurs whenever the withdrawal account is depleted.
