FIRE Calculator (Financial Independence, Retire Early) FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is achieved when passive investment income covers all living expenses indefinitely. The 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate (SWR) rule — derived from the Trinity Study — states that a portfolio withdrawing 4% annually has historically never depleted over a 30-year horizon. The FIRE number is simply annual expenses ÷ SWR. This calculator computes the FIRE number, time to FIRE, and compares Lean FIRE, Regular FIRE, and Fat FIRE scenarios.

Pension / Annuity Income Calculator Upon retirement, a corpus can be converted into a regular income stream (pension) by purchasing an annuity from a life insurance company. This calculator estimates the monthly income from a given corpus at various annuity rates, and also shows the inflation-eroding effect on the purchasing power of that income over time.

Gratuity Calculator Gratuity is a lump-sum payment made by an employer to an employee upon separation (resignation, retirement, death, or disablement) after completing at least 5 continuous years of service. It is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The formula is prescribed by statute — it is not an estimate but a legal calculation.

EPF Calculator The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory retirement savings scheme for salaried employees in India. Both employee and employer contribute 12% of basic salary. However, the employer’s 12% is split: 8.33% goes to the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS, capped at ₹15,000 basic) and the balance 3.67% (or more if basic > ₹15,000) goes to EPF. This calculator projects the EPF corpus at retirement.

Retirement Readiness Score Calculator While the Retirement Corpus Calculator (#17) answers ‘how much do I need?’, the Retirement Readiness Score answers ‘how prepared am I right now?’ It synthesises multiple factors — current savings rate, corpus gap, time horizon, and investment allocation — into a single score and grade. This is a behavioural engagement tool as much as a financial one.
