1

Purpose of the calculator

The FIRE Calculator is a learning tool that helps civil society organizations understand their financial condition through a set of indicators: donor dependency, operating reserve, change capital, resource mobilization and communication investment, core mission support, budget variance, and liquidity ratios.

2

Not professional advice

The results are not an audit, a public accountant's opinion, or financial, tax, or legal advice. For important decisions such as budgeting, fundraising, or investment, consult a competent auditor, accountant, or financial advisor.

3

Accuracy depends on your data

All results are calculated automatically from the figures you enter. Input errors, differences in how items are classified, or unaudited financial statements can produce indicators that do not reflect the actual situation. Make sure figures come from the organization's official financial statements.

4

Indicator thresholds

The Healthy, Needs Monitoring, and At Risk categories follow the general targets of the FIRE framework. These thresholds are guidelines, not fixed standards. What is ideal for each organization may differ depending on its size, sector, and funding model.
