The Salary Increment Calculator After 10 Years projects your future earnings based on your current salary and expected annual growth rate. It helps in financial planning and career decision-making by showing the long-term impact of salary increases.

The calculator uses the compound growth formula:

Where:

• \( Current \) — Current annual salary in dollars
• \( Rate \) — Annual increment rate as a percentage
• \( 10 \) — Number of years for projection
