Key Factors

What Determines When You Can Retire?

Your retirement date is determined by a surprisingly small number of variables โ€” and savings rate is by far the most powerful. Here's what drives it:

๐Ÿ’ฐ Savings Rate (Most Important)

Saving 50% of income vs. 10% can cut your retirement timeline by 20+ years. This single variable matters more than investment returns.

๐Ÿ“ˆ Investment Returns

Historical real returns vary by country and asset class. The simulator uses your country's actual historical market data.

๐Ÿ’ธ Current Savings

Every dollar already invested is working for you via compound growth. Starting with $100,000 vs. $0 can shorten your timeline by 5+ years.

๐Ÿ  Monthly Expenses

Lower spending means a smaller FIRE number AND a higher savings rate. Frugality is a double accelerant.

Common Timelines

Can You Retire at 40, 50, or 55?

The answer depends on your specific situation. But here's what the data shows for typical scenarios:

๐Ÿš€ Retire at 40 โ€” Achievable For:

High earners saving 60%+ from their mid-20s, or anyone with significant existing savings and low expenses. Requires a lean-to-moderate FIRE number.

โšก Retire at 50 โ€” Very Achievable For:

Consistent savers putting away 30โ€“50% of income from their 20s or 30s. The most common FIRE target range.

โœ… Retire at 55โ€“60 โ€” Broadly Achievable:

Even modest savers at 15โ€“20% investment rates who start in their 20s or 30s can reach this range comfortably.
