About Coastfire.co

Coastfire.co explains one retirement-planning question: what might happen if you let existing investments grow toward a future goal without adding more?

The site combines a Coast FIRE calculator with guides to spending-based portfolio targets. It is an educational resource. This is not financial advice.

What the calculator is for

The aim is to make assumptions visible. A result should show the retirement date, spending or portfolio target, return basis and contributions used to produce it. You can then compare a different assumption rather than treating one date as a certainty.

The calculation guide describes compound growth, inflation adjustment and the treatment of contributions. The formula is not a forecast of what a particular fund or account will earn.

What we do not decide for you

The site does not recommend particular investments, choose your retirement date or confirm a withdrawal rate as safe. Its simplified projections do not calculate individual tax liabilities, benefit eligibility or every possible pattern of market returns.

A calculator also cannot decide whether a smaller income, a different job or a particular budget is right for your household. Consider qualified professional advice for decisions that depend on your personal circumstances.
