Hitting a 25ร— "FIRE number" and then retiring can still fail more often than you'd think:
~44%
chance your money lasts, in a typical case where returns barely beat your withdrawal rate. Ember shows you this โ€” and how guardrail spending lifts it toward ~90%. Most free calculators never tell you.

What makes Ember different

The depth of a power tool, the speed of a free calculator, and a privacy stance no competitor offers.

Will it actually last?

Monte-Carlo & historical backtests give a real success probability and a safe retirement age โ€” not just a single number.
