Plan your financial freedom

The FIRE number is spending × a multiplier

Your FIRE number is an estimate of investable assets needed so that sustainable withdrawals can cover annual spending. The classic teaching form is annual spend × 25 (implying a 4% initial withdrawal). Other multipliers exist for more conservative plans.

Build intuition across Financial Freedom Nepal, then compute with the FIRE Calculator.

Lean and Traditional NPR examples

Lean illustrative annual spend Rs 7.2 lakh (Rs 60,000 monthly) × 25 = Rs 1.8 crore. Traditional illustrative annual spend Rs 18 lakh (Rs 150,000 monthly) × 25 = Rs 4.5 crore.

Validate spending assumptions with the Nepal cost of living tool and your expense history — not someone else’s Instagram budget.

These figures are educational sketches, not personalized advice or guarantees.

What to include in annual spending

Housing, food, utilities, transport, healthcare, insurance premiums, family support, and a contingency line. Exclude temporary accumulation expenses you will not carry into retirement (for example aggressive debt payoff that ends).

Underestimating healthcare and family obligations is a common way Nepali planners set a FIRE number too low.

Annualize irregular costs.
Include property tax or maintenance if you own a home.
Decide whether children’s costs continue into the FIRE years.

Adjust for other income and illiquid assets

Pensions, rentals, and part-time work reduce the portfolio FIRE number. Illiquid land may count toward net worth but not toward easily withdrawable FIRE capital unless you have a realistic sale or income plan.

Track progress on the FIRE Summary so liquid vs illiquid distinctions stay visible.

Stress-test the number

Recalculate at 20×, 25×, and 33×. Raise inflation assumptions. Imagine a 20% portfolio drop in year one of retirement. If only the most optimistic case works, the plan is fragile.

A robust FIRE number survives boring, cautious assumptions.

Update as life changes

Marriage, divorce, children, return from abroad, or a move outside the Valley can change the number by crores. Revisit annually. The FIRE number is a living estimate, not a tattoo.
