Annual Salary Growth
Gross earnings are assumed to increase each year at the annual salary growth rate. The calculator allows for a range of options from 0% per year to 8% per year.
Annuity
An annuity is an insurance policy that provides you with a guaranteed income for the rest of your life.
There are many types of annuities available and it is important that you select the right one for you. You should also do you research on which annuity is suitable for you because annuity prices can vary significantly between providers.
