Salary hikes compound like interest: 10% a year doubles your pay in about 7 years. Promotions or job switches add bigger jumps. But inflation eats into every raise, so the real increase in what you can buy is smaller.
Enter your salary, your expected yearly hike and how often you expect a promotion. The calculator shows your salary each year, in today's money, your overall growth rate and the total you will earn.
