    not very clear what fields things are could you attach a snippet in excel indicating what you'd expect? but 7% is pay/100 times 7 so

    =(A1/100*7) should do it where a1 is the cell with salary in it

    Your worksheet did not attach. It must be zipped and less than 100K.

    Edit: If 3.6 is 3 yrs, 6 mos, how is 3 yrs 10 mos encoded? it can't be 3.10 unless it's stored as text; otherwise it's the same as 3.1.

    Perhaps it should be encoded in the more standard way of 3.01, 3.02, ... 3.12?

    Its encoded because our instructor asked us to use a formula which is something like this, =($A2$-B2/365.25). We used that formula to calculate the length of years the person have worked.

    =($A2$-B2/365.25) ...to calculate the length of years the person have worked.
    If that's the case, then 3.6 years is 3 years, 7.2 months, not 3 yrs 6 mos.

    Edit: How does what you posted relate to your question about pensions?

    To compute the future value of a pension:

    A1 = interest rate per period (e.g., 8%/yr = 8%/12 per month)
    A2 = time in service = 3.6 years
    A3 = monthly contribution = $37.03
    A4 = Present Value (= 0 if no contributions yet)
    A5 = 0 (payments made at end of period)

    Then Future Value = FV(A1, INT(A2*12), -A3, A4, A5) = $1,836.95
