Project your salary years into the future with annual raises — plus total earnings over the period and what it's worth after inflation.
Compounds your salary by the annual raise each year. The real (today's-dollars) figure discounts by inflation, showing whether raises are keeping pace with prices. Actual raises, promotions, and job changes vary widely — this is a steady-growth projection. General information only.
Small annual raises compound: a 3% yearly increase grows a salary by about a third over a decade. But inflation compounds too — if raises only match inflation, your real buying power stands still. This shows both the headline future salary and its value in today's dollars.
Only if they beat inflation. A 2% raise in 3% inflation is a real pay cut. Compare your raise percentage to inflation to know if you're gaining ground.
Promotions and job changes often deliver bigger jumps than annual raises — this steady-growth model understates those. Treat it as a floor, not a ceiling.
