About This Site

This website is dedicated to providing financial tools and resources for individuals on their Financial Independence (FI) and Retire Early (RE) journey. The tools available are designed to help optimize savings, track progress, and guide you towards achieving financial freedom.

About Me

I have over 30 years of experience in the IT industry and around 20 years in the finance sector, including banking and superannuation. My passion for finance, specifically achieving Financial Independence and FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), led me to create this website. Having successfully achieved FIRE, I want to help others on their journey to financial freedom. If you find the tools useful, feel free to donate to help cover the costs of maintaining and improving the site.

  • Calculate key financial metrics that impact your FIRE journey
  • Provide visibility into your progress and goals

Currently, the following tools are available to help guide you on your path to Financial Independence:

  • Personal Contribution Tax Calculator: This tool shows the effect of contributing more to your superannuation on your PAYG tax, once you convert it to a concessional contribution. It helps you plan tax-efficient savings strategies.
