    Hey HN! I built a small app for comparing companies or job offers based on "years until financial independence" instead of "total compensation", after finding out the same offer from 2 companies can have a difference of years in terms of FIRE. I also ranked companies based on the time to FIRE as well. (with some assumptions, see the methodology for more details here https://firelist.io/methodology). It was useful for me, hopefully it's useful to you! I'll be adding more benefits and companies over the next few days or so. Let me know if you have any requests.

    After having been a regular employee for years, I worked as a freelancer for a while. Going into my freelancing life I had no real mental model for how much of the money I earned was truly mine to spend, and how much of it I needed to set aside for taxes, vacations, retirement, and in case I got sick. I modelled this in Excel as best I could and was quite surprised both by how complicated it was to get right, and how much money I actually needed to set aside! As my girlfriend also started freelancing last year, I decided to turn my Excel sheet into a little program she could use too, and in…

    We’re Scott and Sunny—two long-time personal finance nerds. When we met 6 years ago we compared our personal finance spreadsheets. Ours were packed with macros, scenarios, and tax modeling—but even then, found they were not complete. Planning for financial independence is hard, and the cost of mistakes is high. So we built the tool we always wanted: MoneyOnFIRE. MOF calculates a personalized, tax-aware roadmap to financial independence—across account types, life goals, and withdrawal strategies. It shows you not just if you can achieve financial indepdendence, but how, when, and what to…

    The IRS lets you hire and pay your kids for real work. That earned income can go into a Roth IRA and grow tax-free. $4k/year from age 10-18 becomes over $1M by retirement. The catch? Paperwork. Agreements, work logs, payment records. Most parents never bother because it's annoying. employkids makes it easy.

    Hi everyone, I’ve been on Hacker News for a good number of years, but this is my first “Show HN”. I changed jobs recently. Tax is weird in Europe (and maybe other places as well?) in that different amounts go out at different times and repeat at various intervals. I needed to make sure I had enough cashflow to make all upcoming payments, I didn't want any surprises. So I created a little tool for my own purposes, then had fun putting a small HTML frontend on it as I thought it might be useful for someone else. I'm a backend developer in my day job, as you can probably tell from the design :)…
