Frequently asked questions
Does this include raises?
No. It multiplies a single salary by the years to give a simple baseline. Real earnings usually rise over a career, so treat this as a floor, not a forecast.
Why is the number so large?
Even a modest salary adds up over decades. Seeing the total can be a useful reminder of how much small savings rates compound across a career.
