Fire Calculator

How much do you need for your financial freedom? Using our calculator, you can calculate your number using detailed parameters such as capital requirements, saving and withdrawal rate.

FIRE Calculator
Plan financial independence based on the 4% rule (variably adjustable). Simulate saving and withdrawal phases separately – with inflation, returns, statutory/occupational pension claims (GRV/BAV), taxes, health/long-term care insurance (KV/PV), and optional “Die with Zero” target.

Phases

The 4% rule withdraws 4% of the starting assets in the first year (adjusted for inflation thereafter). With GRV/BAV, the necessary withdrawal need decreases.

Usually ≈ Inflation; 0% fixes spending at today's purchasing power.

“Die with Zero”

“Die with Zero” plans the assets to be completely consumed by the end of life – minus the desired bequest.
