Most FIRE calculators give you one number and call it a day. FIREpath shows you all 5 retirement paths side by side so you can actually compare your options instead of running the math five separate times in five different spreadsheets. See every scenario at once: Regular FIRE - the classic 4% rule Lean FIRE - retire sooner on less Fat FIRE - retire later with more cushion Coast FIRE - the number where you can stop contributing forever Barista FIRE - semi-retire with part-time income "What if" sliders that update in real time Drag a slider to add $200/month to your savings. Watch your retirement date move instantly. Try a 9% return instead of 7%. Cut your expenses by 15%. No spreadsheets, no formulas to remember, just drag and see your future change in front of you. Built for people who are serious about this * Visual timeline from your current age to retirement, with every FIRE milestone marked * Coast FIRE calculator: see the exact number where you can stop contributing and still hit your target by retirement age * Full monthly breakdown: savings rate, projected portfolio income, inflation-adjusted value * Save multiple scenarios and compare them side by side ("current plan" vs "if I cut expenses") * Shareable results card for your FIRE journey Why FIREpath is different We built this because we were tired of switching between three different calculators every time we wanted to test a new scenario. No other tool shows Lean, Regular, Fat, Coast, and Barista FIRE together with live interactive sliders. This is the FIRE calculator we wished existed. Free to use. No sign-up required. Your numbers stay private, nothing is shared, nothing is sold. Start calculating your FIRE date in under 30 seconds. For educational purposes only. Not financial advice. Projections assume consistent returns which are not guaranteed. Consult a licensed financial advisor for personalized guidance.
