Your Financial Independence Number is the capital base required so the assumed rate of return alone can sustainably produce your desired annual income. It uses the same logic behind the 4% Rule, generalized to whatever rate of return you enter.

The Financial Independence Number is a general planning estimate based on the assumed rate of return you enter — it is not a guaranteed outcome. Actual investment returns vary and are not guaranteed. This tool does not account for inflation, taxes, Social Security, or other income sources. It is intended to start a conversation about your goals, not to replace a full financial needs analysis.
