FIRE Probability Engine · Summary

Unlikely to reach FIRE by age 50 without changes

Results generated via Monte Carlo simulation (600 randomized market scenarios). Exact figures may vary slightly on each page load due to the stochastic nature of the model.

Based on $100K current net worth and $30K/yr in savings, targeting financial independence by age 50.

Savings rate impact on FIRE by target age

How changing your savings rate affects your probability of reaching FIRE by the selected age. Your current rate is highlighted.

Probability of FIRE by target ageYour current rate (~30%)

You’re in a solid range. Each additional 10% of savings rate roughly doubles the impact on FIRE probability.

What’s driving this

With a 0% savings rate (of gross income) — $30K/yr saved, $50K/yr spent — your FIRE number is $0 in today’s dollars. The median path does not reach the FIRE number within the modeled timeframe. By age 50, <1% of simulated paths reach financial independence. Increasing your savings rate to 30%+ would meaningfully improve these odds.
