Fill in the fields below to estimate your Coast FIRE number. A few things to note:
Annual spending in retirement: A good starting point is to assume you’ll need about 70% to 90% of your current income in retirement.
Expected annual return: While the stock market has an average return of about 10% over the long term, this doesn’t account for inflation or other variables. For a more accurate estimate, we suggest using a figure from 5% (more conservative) to 7% (more aggressive).
