We project your monthly budget forward using the inflation rate you set. At the same time, we project the Bitcoin price forward using the annual growth rate. By converting each year's USD budget into sats at that year's projected BTC price, you can see how your cost of living in sats changes over time.
If BTC appreciates faster than fiat inflation, your monthly expenses denominated in sats shrink — meaning life gets “cheaper” in Bitcoin terms.
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. As adoption grows and demand increases, each satoshi may purchase more goods and services over time. If Bitcoin's annual appreciation outpaces fiat inflation, then everyday expenses require fewer sats — effectively making life “cheaper” for Bitcoin holders.
The 4% rule is a traditional retirement guideline suggesting you can safely withdraw 4% of your portfolio per year without running out of money over a 30-year period. In Bitcoin terms, if you multiply your annual expenses by 25 (the inverse of 4%), you get the BTC value needed to “retire” under this rule.
Note: The 4% rule was designed for traditional stock/bond portfolios. Bitcoin's volatility may require a more conservative withdrawal rate.
