Summary
The FIRE Calc is your personal roadmap to financial independence—helping you plan, project, and achieve your early retirement goals with confidence.
This is the exact same spreadsheet I used to map out my journey to FI, test different paths, and confidently walk away from my job when the numbers aligned.
Unlike basic FV (Future Value) calculators, the FIRE Calc lets you model your financial journey year by year, factoring in:
- Income changes (career shifts, side hustles, salary jumps)
- Spending adjustments (cutbacks, lifestyle inflation)
- Taking a sabbatical or career break
- Debt payoff & investment growth strategies
Life isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither should your FI plan be.
The FIRE Calc is a customizable, interactive Google Sheet that lets you map out your FI journey year by year.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, hey, journeyers. Okay, really quick. I know you're like, what is happening? Why is this like short episode here? But I'm really just dropping this in to remind you if you have not seen anything. Maybe you're under a rock. You're not signed up to my newsletter list that the fire calc tool and live workshop is happening on May 22nd. So Thursday at 12.30 p.m. Eastern time, |
| 0:25.2 | I'll be holding a live workshop where I'll be walking you through the fire calc tool. Now, the fire calc tool is the |
| 0:33.2 | ultimate FI planning tool that I created to help map out how to reach financial independence. |
| 0:39.9 | So this idea, this dream that you probably have where you don't want to have to work, |
| 0:45.6 | you can live off your investments or other sources of income not tied to a job you don't love |
| 0:52.0 | or something you hate. How do you make that happen from your |
| 0:55.0 | starting point right now? So I created this tool when I was trying to figure things out. |
| 0:59.7 | And I've been sharing this tool within my coaching programs and other programs, but I've |
| 1:05.0 | recently decided to test out how the tool can be given by itself on its own for people who really just want the numbers. |
| 1:14.0 | You want to put in the numbers, want to see how it works, and get going, jump right in. |

| 1:36.6 | are and where you want to be and you play around with the numbers. |
| 1:39.2 | You run multiple scenarios and how to make financial independence possible for you and we walk through multiple |
| 1:45.6 | scenarios or I show you how to think about different scenarios about opening up your idea |

| 1:59.2 | that maybe you thought was not possible and touching a little bit |
