Compound Interest Spreadsheet with Salary Increases

Compound Interest Spreadsheet with Salary Increases launched on May 11, 2019 with 10 votes, #976 of 3,072 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.

In plain words

This is a Google Sheet that calculates compound interest and retirement projections with increasing contributions over time. It accounts for salary raises and shows how they impact portfolio growth and withdrawal income. Created for people who want to model retirement savings scenarios in spreadsheet form rather than using online calculators, it lets users adjust variables and save their own versions for ongoing planning.

So I made the following spreadsheet that compares the difference that a certain yearly salary increase makes on the value of your portfolio and on the amount of income you can draw from that portfolio based on a certain withdrawal rate. Here is a link to the Google Sheet so that you can download it to play with yourself. Also, I’m currently reading “The Millionaire Next Door” , which is a book I recommend…from josephbisch.com
