I was playing around with the both the FIRE calc and the TRowe calc and noticed that the TRowe calc seems to give much more conservative results. On average I seem to be getting a 3.5% withdrawl rate (100% success) using the FIRE calc but only a 2.8% WR using TRowe. The methodologies seem similar as do the expected rates of return. I know small differences add up to a lot over time but as anyone looked at this before? Anyone know what the big difference is between the two calcs?
