For people who want to keep building—just on their own terms.
Freedom spending is your base lifestyle, freedom-mode housing, freedom-mode dependent costs, and recurring insurance, medical, subscription, and other obligations. The calculator applies your selected location tier to the unlocalized baseline costs, then adds the housing and dependent costs you entered for that location.
No single market assumption is certain. Conservative, Base, and Aggressive scenarios make the withdrawal rate, return, inflation, tax and fee assumptions visible instead of hiding them inside one multiple.
If you know when you will be debt-free, the timeline includes that payoff phase and redirects finished debt payments into savings. If no payoff date is known, the remaining balance is added to each target.
Not in every scenario. The calculator applies a 50% reliability haircut in Conservative, 25% in Base, and no haircut in Aggressive before capitalizing that income.
