    Calculating % Rate over years

    Hi

    I would like toi calculate the salary increase over a number of years.

    However I would like this to be done within one cell

    i.e.

    I have my salary £60,000 and a cell which contains the inflation rate and the number of years.

    Is there a way within a formula to have it calculate the yearly % rise and then use this value for the base salary for the next year and so and so.

    I could do it over a number of cells but would like it to calculate the value within one cell.

    Is this possible

    Thanks for your help

    Fabby

    Re: Calculating % Rate over years

    inflation rate will vary so how can you base it on your starting salary?
    but assuming rate is constant
    a1=start salary
    b1= inflation %
    c1= years
    then d1=A1*(1+B1)^C1

    ^ is the to the power of i.e 2^2 = 2 squared 2^3 = 2 cubed
