If you have your savings rate, you can calculate the years to retirement.
Sure, like I mentioned, it is one component to to calculation, but alone it tells you nothing about time to FI.
Google "The Shockingly Simple Math to Early Retirement."
No need. That was the first link I posted.
PS: I find your first sentence a bit rude.
It was the nicest way I could think to say that sentence.
Answering a "how do I calculate X" with "here you go:" and giving a completely different formula is or helpful.
I think if you were honest right now, you'd admit you didn't read the thread (again, which included a link that you later say to google for) and just posted your opinion of how to calculate savings rate, since that's been discussed so many times before.
Otherwise I see no way that you could answer a "how do I calculate time to FI" saying "here you go" with a calculation for savings rate.
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't read the thread and didn't know what was going on. The other option is much less favorable.
