NestEgg: FIRE Calculator

What's your FIRE number — and when could you actually retire? Most retirement calculators ask for three numbers and hand you a year. That's not a plan, that's a guess. NestEgg models the mechanics that actually decide whether you make it: your real return after inflation, the tax treatment of every account you draw from, and how much claiming Social Security at 62 versus 70 changes the number you need. FIVE WAYS TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT Pick the one that fits and the whole app tailors itself around it. • Traditional FIRE — retire fully on 25x your annual spending • Lean FIRE — minimalist budget, earliest possible exit • Fat FIRE — retire early without downsizing the good life • Coast FIRE — front-load savings, let compounding finish the job • Barista FIRE — semi-retire with part-time income bridging the gap YOUR DASHBOARD A live progress ring toward your FIRE number, your projected FIRE year, savings rate, contribution gap and net worth — all recomputed the moment you change anything. PROJECTIONS TO AGE 95 A year-by-year chart of your portfolio in today's dollars, your FIRE number drawn on it, the crossing year marked, and a depletion warning if the money runs out first. TAX DRAG, MODELLED PROPERLY Traditional, Roth and taxable accounts tracked separately, with long-term capital gains treatment, RMDs, Roth conversion ladders and an early-retirement healthcare (ACA) bridge. Built on current IRS and SSA figures — brackets, standard deduction, 401(k) and Roth IRA limits, the wage base. PLAN WITH YOUR PARTNER Two incomes, two retirement ages, one shared date. FREE, NOT A TRIAL Your FIRE number, savings rate, income, expenses, balances, the dashboard and the projection chart are all free — along with the assumptions behind them: real return, inflation, safe withdrawal rate and state tax. The free version answers "what's my number and am I on track?" completely.

You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, instantly. A NOTE ON WHERE YOU LIVE The core planner — your number, savings rate, projections and every FIRE style — works wherever you are. Tax, pension and healthcare modelling uses United States figures (IRS brackets, 401(k), Roth, Social Security, ACA), so treat those specific numbers as US-based. NestEgg is an educational planning tool, not financial advice. Projections use a steady real return you pick, so you can see the mechanics rather than a probability you can't interrogate. Every model is wrong about something — use it to think, not to decide. Terms of Use: https://runebyte.app/fire-path/terms Privacy Policy: https://runebyte.app/fire-path/privacy
