The Exit Number

Nine questions. It works out what taking time off work would really cost, and the date you could leave.

A spending calculator. Not financial advice, and it names no investment.

What it does

Most people work out the cost of time off by counting rent and food. That is the small half. The rest is the health coverage you start paying yourself, the retirement money you stop putting away, the months of job hunting on the way back, and the years of lower pay after.

This adds all of it up, subtracts anything coming in, and gives you one number and one date. If you are not ready yet, it says when you will be and which changes move that date most.

What you get

A printable one page memo with your real number on it
The date you could leave, worked out from what you actually save
How long your money lasts once you go
Forty nine currencies and sixty two countries
It works on a phone, which is where you will use it

What it does not do

It does not tell you to buy anything, it names no investment, and it is not financial advice. It will not tell you the answer you want either. It is a spending calculator that refuses to be optimistic on your behalf.
