Question 1070078: Please Help! Im stuck
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!
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! f = p * (1 + r) ^ n
f is the future value.
p is the present value.
r is the interest rate per time period.
n is the number of time periods.
your time periods are in years.
formula becomes:
100,000 = p * 1.04 ^ 15
solve for p to get p = 100,000 / (1.04 ^ 15).
you will get p = 55,526.45027.
that's what you should start with.
in 15 years, that salary will be equal to 100,000 a year.
