We present results from ab initio no-core full configuration simulations of the exotic proton-rich nucleus ${}^{14}\mathrm{F}$, whose first experimental observation is expected soon. Calculations with the JISP16 $\mathit{NN}$ interaction are performed up to the $N_{max}=8$ basis space. The binding energy is evaluated using an extrapolation technique. This technique is generalized to excitation energies, verified in calculations of ${}^6\mathrm{Li}$, and applied to ${}^{14}\mathrm{F}$ and ${}^{14}\mathrm{B}$, the ${}^{14}\mathrm{F}$ mirror, for which some data are available.
