We started Fire-Calc.com because we were genuinely frustrated with the retirement planning tools available. We found that most calculators were either too simplistic or ignored critical details—like tax impacts, early withdrawal penalties, and the complexity of real-world financial decisions.
Our advanced calculator is our answer to those shortcomings. We built it because we believe planning for financial independence should be as realistic and nuanced as the decisions you face every day. Whether it's accounting for early withdrawal penalties if you retire before age 50, or the complex tax implications of 401(k) distributions versus Roth withdrawals, we wanted a tool that reflects the real challenges—and opportunities—of planning for retirement.
We spent countless hours researching, testing, and refining our models so that you can see a more accurate picture of your financial future. We hope that it’s about giving you a transparent tool that helps you make informed decisions. We even include details like varying tax brackets and penalty considerations—because the little details matter.
At Fire-Calc.com, we are committed to continuously improving our tools based on user feedback. Our goal is to provide useful educational resources and calculators that help you explore different financial scenarios. While our tools are for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional advice, we strive to make them as accurate and helpful as possible.
We respect your privacy. All calculations are performed directly in your browser—we never collect, store, or transmit your financial data. For more details, please read our Privacy Policy.
