Three answers for a clearer retirement plan
A useful plan starts with a number and a date, then shows the decisions behind them.
Your possible retirement year
A projection based on your current assets, contributions and planning assumptions.
The levers that change the date
See how saving, spending, investment assumptions and location affect the timeline.
How it works
From rough ambition to a plan you can test
IndepAI turns a small set of financial inputs into a baseline. You can then compare scenarios instead of relying on one optimistic forecast.
- 1
Enter your current position
Add your age, invested assets, annual spending and regular contributions.
- 2
Review the baseline
See the estimated target and year produced by the selected assumptions.
- 3
Test realistic changes
Compare what happens when contributions, spending or future living costs change.
Early retirement is not one magic number
The date depends on several variables. A responsible plan makes each assumption visible and lets you test the trade-offs.
Save more
Higher recurring contributions can shorten the accumulation phase.
Spend deliberately
A sustainable spending target changes both the required portfolio and the timeline.
Model uncertainty
Returns, inflation and withdrawal rates are assumptions, not guarantees.
Choose where to live
Future living costs can materially change how far the same portfolio goes.
Location is an option, not the whole identity
IndepAI is built for anyone planning an earlier retirement. City and country comparisons remain an optional advantage: they show how future living costs could change the same plan across Europe, the United States and beyond.

The calculator uses the financial inputs and assumptions you select. Results are illustrative and can change with returns, inflation, taxes, fees, exchange rates and spending. IndepAI does not guarantee an outcome or provide individualized investment, tax or legal advice.
Early retirement questions
How can I estimate when I can retire?
Start with your invested assets, annual spending, recurring contributions and explicit return and inflation assumptions. A calculator can project a possible year, but the result should be tested across multiple scenarios.
How much money do I need to retire early?
The amount depends mainly on sustainable annual spending, withdrawal assumptions, taxes, fees and the length of retirement. The 4% rule can be a starting heuristic, not a guarantee.
Can moving help me retire earlier?
Lower future living costs may reduce the portfolio needed to support a lifestyle, but taxes, healthcare, residency, currency risk and personal preferences also need to be considered.
