FIRE Formula (4% Rule)

FIRE Number = Annual Expenses × 25
(Based on 4% safe withdrawal rate)

Inflation-adjusted FIRE Number = Annual Expenses × (1+i)n × 25

Years to FIRE: solved numerically using SIP + existing corpus growth

The 4% rule (Trinity Study) states you can withdraw 4% of your corpus annually without running out of money for 30 years. In India, with higher inflation, many advisors use 3-3.5% withdrawal rate (corpus = expenses × 28-33).

Frequently Asked Questions

Your FIRE number is the corpus (savings + investments) needed to retire and live off returns forever. Using the 4% rule: FIRE Number = Annual Expenses × 25. If you spend ₹80,000/month (₹9.6L/year), you need ₹2.4 crore.
Research (Trinity Study) shows that withdrawing 4% of your portfolio annually has historically not depleted a 60/40 portfolio over 30 years. In India, given higher inflation, a 3-3.5% rate (25-33x expenses) is more conservative.
(1) Increase savings rate — the single biggest lever. (2) Reduce expenses — lowers FIRE number AND increases savings. (3) Maximize investment returns through equity exposure. (4) Have additional income sources (rent, business) that reduce withdrawal need.
