Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good savings rate for FIRE?

A 20% savings rate is a good starting point. 35%+ is considered strong for FIRE aspirants, and 50%+ is exceptional. The higher your savings rate, the faster you reach financial independence. With a 50% savings rate, you could potentially reach FI in 15-17 years.

Is the 4% rule safe for India?

The 4% rule is based on US market data. For India, some advisors recommend a more conservative 3-3.5% withdrawal rate due to higher inflation and currency considerations. Our calculator uses the standard 25x multiplier but you can adjust your target based on your risk tolerance.

Should I include my house in my FI number?

Generally, your primary residence should not be included in your FI number since it doesn't generate income. Only include investments that can generate returns or be liquidated to fund your retirement.

What about healthcare costs in early retirement?

Healthcare is a crucial consideration for early retirees. Include health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical costs in your monthly expenses. Consider budgeting extra as healthcare costs typically increase with age.
