In today's rapidly changing job market, it is becoming increasingly important for individuals to plan their financial futures. One way to do this is to calculate future salary. Future salary is the estimated amount of money an individual can expect to earn in the future, based on their current salary and projected salary increases.

While calculating future salary can be helpful for financial planning, it is important to remember that these estimates are just that — estimates. Many factors can impact an individual's earning potential, and it is impossible to predict the future with complete accuracy. However, by considering the factors discussed above and regularly reassessing your financial situation, you can make informed decisions about your career and financial future.

To understand the future salary calculation, or calculate your salary increase, let's look at Carrie as an example:

• Current salary: $50,000;
• Average salary change per year: 5%; and
• Number of years being estimated: 10 years.

You can calculate your salary increase or your future salary in four steps:

1. Determine your current salary:

   The first step is to calculate your current salary. This is the annual salary that you are currently getting paid.

   Carrie's current salary is $50,000.

2. Compute the average salary change per year:

   Next, you need to compute your average salary change per year. This is totally based on your assumptions.

   Factors affecting this includes previous salary increases, job performance, promotion, inflation, etc. Check out our salary inflation calculator for more information.

   Carrie calculated her average yearly salary increase to be 5%. You can use the percentage increase calculator to help you with this calculation.

3. Determine the number of years you want to estimate:

   Now you can choose the `number of years you want to estimate.

   In our example, Carrie would like to know her future salary in 10 years.

4. Calculate the future salary:

   The last step is to calculate the future salary using the formula below:

   future salary = current salary × (1 + average salary change) ^ number of years.

   Carrie's future salary will be:

   $50,000 × (1 + 5%)^10 = $81,444.73

Our future salary calculator also helps you calculate your real future salary, which considers the future inflation rate.

You can calculate the real future salary using this formula:

real future salary = future salary x (1 - average inflation rate) ^ number of years.

Assuming an average inflation rate of 3%, Carrie's real future salary is:

$81,444.73 x (1 - 3%)^10 = $60,059.31
