What Is Fat FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early)?
Fat FIRE, an acronym for "Financial Independence, Retire Early,"
represents a more comfortable and lavish approach to early retirement
compared to its leaner counterpart, Lean FIRE. In Fat FIRE, the goal is
to amass a substantial amount of wealth that allows for a higher
standard of living during retirement. This approach provides more
flexibility, fewer financial constraints, and the ability to enjoy life
to the fullest without worrying about money.
How Does FIRE Work?
Two key components of FIRE are saving aggressively and investing wisely.
By starting saving your income early and investing the sums, compound
interest can accelerate the journey to Financial Independence and Retire
Early.
How to use Fat FIRE calculator?
Portseido's Fat FIRE Calculator is the free tool that helps individuals
to plan for their financial independence and retire early. We will
explore how to effectively use this calculator to project your financial
future, set realistic goals, and make informed decisions.
Understanding Your Investment Inputs:
1. Time Horizon (Years):
This is the duration over which you plan to achieve your financial
goals. Whether you're aiming for early retirement or saving for a
specific milestone, input the desired number of years.
2. Current Net Worth:
Enter your current financial standing, including savings, investments,
and any other assets. This provides the baseline for your future
projections.
3. Expected Annual Return:
Specify the anticipated annual return on your investments. This figure
helps the calculator estimate the growth of your portfolio over time.
4. Additional Contribution:
Input any additional funds you plan to contribute regularly. You can
choose the frequency, whether monthly or annually, depending on your
financial habits.
5. Contribution Growth (Percent and Frequency):
Define the growth rate for your additional contributions. This feature
allows you to account for salary increases, bonuses, or other financial
increments. Choose whether this growth occurs year over year or month
over month.
How to Calculate Fat FIRE Goal?
Calculating your Fat FIRE goal involves determining the required
retirement net worth. To achieve this, you need to understand two key
components: retirement annual spending and withdrawal rate.
1. Retirement Annual Spending
Retirement Annual Spending is your estimated spending for any given year
during retirement. This involves creating a detailed budget that takes
into account all your future expenses, including housing, healthcare,
travel, hobbies, and any other costs you expect to incur. It's important
to be realistic and thorough in this assessment to ensure your
retirement years are financially comfortable.
2. Withdrawal Rate
Withdrawal Rate represents the percentage of your net worth that you
anticipate withdrawing annually to cover your retirement expenses. A
lower withdrawal rate implies a safer and more conservative approach to
financial independence, as it reduces the risk of outliving your
savings.
The widely accepted safe withdrawal rate is typically between 3% and 4%.
This means that for every $1 million in your retirement portfolio, you
can withdraw $30,000 to $40,000 annually, assuming a 3% to 4% withdrawal
rate.
Executing the Calculation:
Once you've entered all the necessary information, click on the
"Calculate" button. The Portseido Free Online Fire Calculator will
process your inputs and generate a comprehensive set of outputs to guide
your financial planning.
Understanding the Outputs:
1. Final Goal:
The calculator will display the projected final goal amount in dollars.
This represents the target amount you aim to achieve within the
specified time horizon.
2. Portfolio Projection Graph:
Visualize your portfolio's projected growth over time with an
easy-to-understand graph. This graphical representation provides a quick
overview of your financial trajectory.
3. Portfolio Projection Table:
Explore a detailed table that breaks down your portfolio progression
over the specified time horizon. The table includes multiple tabs for
"Value," "Contribution," and "Return," allowing you to analyze each
aspect of your financial plan.
