Today's rupees · 12% return, 6% inflation assumed · target 25× yearly expenses · illustrative.
What this means. Your savings rate decides your freedom date more than your income does.
What changes the result?
- Savings rate
- Every 5 points saved can pull your date years closer.
- Yearly expenses
- Lower spend shrinks the target corpus (25× expenses).
- Inflation
- Higher inflation pushes the target further away.
The 25× rule, in plain English
If your annual expenses are ₹9L, your FIRE number is roughly 25 × ₹9L = ₹2.25 Cr in today's rupees. The 25× multiplier comes from the 4% safe withdrawal rate — the amount you can pull from a diversified portfolio each year with a very high chance of the money outlasting a 30-year retirement. Vybe Money then inflates that number to the year you actually plan to stop working.
25× yearly expenses is the 4% rule of thumb. At 3.5%, closer to Indian conditions, it is about 29×.
Coast FIRE — the earlier milestone
Coast FIRE is the corpus that, if left untouched, will grow into your full FIRE number by traditional retirement age. If your target is ₹5 Cr at age 60 and you expect 10% real returns, ₹80L at age 35 is already Coast FIRE — you can, in theory, stop investing and coast. It is an earlier planning checkpoint before full financial independence.
Why the savings rate matters more than income
The single biggest driver of your FIRE date isn't how much you earn — it's what percentage of income you save. A 20% savings rate takes ~37 years. 40% takes ~22 years. 60% takes ~12.5 years. Vybe Money's budget planner is where you dial that number.
Connected to your real portfolio
The FIRE calculator inside Vybe Money reads your actual portfolio and monthly SIP, uses a blended expected return, and iterates each year until your corpus crosses the inflation-adjusted target. It's not a toy calculator — it's the same math a financial planner would run for you, with fewer opinions and no cross-selling.
