How to calculate years until financial independence?
In this equation the withdrawal rate is the percent you must pull from your savings to meet your expenses. For example if your savings is $100,000 and you need $10,000 annually for your living expenses then your withdrawal rate would be 10% (where 10k is 10% of 100k).  To complete this formula, you need to know how much savings you need to be financially independent before you can use this formula to find out how long it will take you.
