You're right -- none of the formulas I've seen offer much in the way of precision. They either tell you someone's
opinion of what will happen in the future, or, as with Intercst's work (on which FireCalc was based), the facts of what has happened in the past.
As an early-retired friend repeats to me whenever this subject comes up, the problem is simple once you know how long you will live, and what the market returns and inflation will be during your remaining years!
