(Meet Simon, the guy who writes the code...)
Me
Hello, I'm Simon, and I'm a British software developer in my mid-30's, based in London, UK. During Covid-19, I discovered the FIRE Movement, and have since become addicted to the idea of retiring early, and being financially independent. This platform is a passion project of mine, and I've become engrossed in improving it daily!
The Vision
I'm on a mission to ensure that the planning and tracking of your FIRE journey is made simple and effective, with everything being stored in one single place, allowing you to update and amend your FIRE data as required.
Inspiration
My inspiration for The UK FIRE Calculator, comes from me using various available spreadsheets and retirement planning tools online, to attempt to plan my goal for early retirement and financial independence, but to no avail, (not to criticize any of the available resources...). At UK FIRE Calculator, I provide a platform with a variety of useful features. The calculator is designed to be as visual as possible, and is being actively improved on a weekly basis.
Finally...
In case you're wondering, everything was built by me, as a solo software developer, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via the support page:
