Lifetime Earnings Estimator
This calculator projects total career earnings by starting with your current salary and compounding an average annual raise percentage over your remaining working years.
The Formula
Each year’s salary grows by the raise rate: Salary(year) = Salary(year-1) × (1 + Raise Rate). Lifetime Earnings is the sum of every year’s salary across the full working period.
Note: This is a simplified projection for general planning purposes only; actual careers involve job changes, promotions, gaps, and inflation not captured by a fixed raise rate.
