Roadmap

Read about future iterations of The UK FIRE Calculator

Current Version

Version 2.0.0 - 10th March 2024 Beta

Please Note: There may be some potential bugs!

  • Completely removed the database of FIRE data - Now your data is no longer saved in a database, and simply exists in a session on the server, with an expiry time of 2 hours. Nothing is stored by us, and your use of the calculator is now completely anonymous.
  • Cleaned up the look and feel, and removed the use of tabs on the home page, and put the calculator at the top of the home page, with the results below this towards the bottom of the home page.
  • Made the calculator results real-time, now that we no longer have the dependency of a database that needs updating.
  • Removed the following fields that were unnecessary (originally put in for a future feature that is yet to be implemented) - "Marital status", "Do you have kids", "How many kids do you have", "FIRE Strategy".
  • Removed the "Income tax bracket" field, and this is determined by the calculator itself.
  • Removed some unnecessary charts, which were taking up space without adding any additional benefit.
  • Removed the "Saving..." notification that appears after every input field is edited.
  • Implemented Mortgage overpayments on a monthly basis.
