Problem:
I want to be earning an annual salary of $100,00 when I retire in 15 years. I have been offered a job that guarantees an annual salary increase of %4 per year, and the starting salary is negotiable. What salary should I request in order to meet my goal?
Thank you so much!

Current salary: x

x = 100,000/(1+.04)^15 = 55,526.45
