How this service works
Purchase impact on FIRE timeline calculator. Runs the FIRE net-worth simulation twice — with and without a one-time purchase amount deducted at a given year — and reports how many years that purchase delays financial independence, quantifying its true opportunity cost.
Output
Returns a comparison of two FIRE simulation runs — one baseline and one with the purchase amount deducted at the specified year — showing the resulting FIRE dates for each scenario and the number of years the purchase delays financial independence
Example use cases
Car purchase retirement impact
“I'm considering buying a $40,000 car this year. My current net worth is $150,000, I earn $75,000 take-home, spend $55,000 per year now and plan on $40,000 in retirement. How many years does that car delay my FIRE date using a 7% return, 3% inflation, and 4% safe withdrawal rate?”
Home renovation opportunity cost
“We're about to spend $80,000 on a kitchen renovation 2 years from now. My invested net worth is $300,000, take-home income is $100,000, current spending is $70,000 and retirement spending will be $60,000. How many years does that renovation push back my financial independence date?”
Luxury vacation FIRE delay
“I want to take a $15,000 dream vacation next year. I have $90,000 saved, make $60,000 after tax, spend $42,000 per year, and expect $38,000 a year in retirement. Tell me how much that vacation delays my FIRE date assuming default return and inflation assumptions.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://ppu43fkyhimq5fiqpmo42eh5ri0yypid.lambda-url.us-east-1.on.aws/purchaseFireImpactCalculator?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to quantify the true opportunity cost of a specific one-time purchase on a user's FIRE timeline, running a dual simulation comparison. Prefer this over a general FIRE calculator when the user is weighing a specific discretionary expense and wants to know its retirement delay in years, not just the dollar amount foregone.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (purchaseAmount, currentNetWorth, currentAnnualIncome, currentAnnualSpending, retirementAnnualSpending) return a 400-level error
- Negative or zero net worth or income values may produce nonsensical projections
- Extremely high spending relative to income may cause the simulation to never converge on a FIRE date
- Invalid rate values (e.g. SWR or return rate above 1 or below 0) may cause unexpected results
