Freedom Line — FIRE Planning & Progress Dashboard

Know Your Number. See Your Trajectory. Track Every Step.

Most FIRE calculators give you a retirement number and stop there. Freedom Line gives you a complete planning system — one that recalculates your FIRE Number and Years-to-FI as your real income and spending change, projects your portfolio growth over five years with a visible crossover line, and logs every quarterly contribution so you can see exactly where you stand right now.

If you're serious about financial independence and early retirement, this is the workbook that keeps working after you fill it in.

What's Inside

Live FIRE Number Calculator (Planned vs. Actual)
Enter your income and expense categories with both planned and actual figures. Your FIRE Number and Years-to-FI recalculate automatically based on what you're really earning and spending — not a one-time estimate you made six months ago. As your financial picture shifts, your target and timeline shift with it.

5-Year Portfolio Growth Projection with Crossover Line
See exactly where your portfolio is headed and at what point it intersects your FIRE Number. Most competitors show a single static target — this shows the full trajectory so you can spot shortfalls early and adjust before they compound.

Quarterly Contribution Logs with Running Totals
Record every contribution across four quarterly tabs. Running totals roll up automatically into a Planned-vs-Actual bar chart on the dashboard, so any gap between what you planned to save and what you actually saved is visible immediately — not buried until year-end.

Live Dashboard
One view shows your FIRE Number, current net worth, amount remaining, years to FI, and all three charts — all formula-linked to your logs and calculator tabs. No manual updates needed.

Who This Is For

Built for anyone on the path to financial independence — whether you're just calculating your number for the first time, actively saving toward an early retirement date, or recovering from a setback and recalibrating your timeline. Works equally well for aggressive FIRE pursuers and those taking a slower, steadier approach.
