YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Build a scenario
Your inputs stay in this browser session and are not submitted to MindSoi. Enter your own withholding estimate. This tool does not calculate tax.
Scenario only, based on the withholding percentage you entered.
5-YEAR CAREER SCENARIO
Projected annual base plus bonus if the selected growth rate repeats.
What this scenario suggests
At the entered monthly capacity, the six-month reserve gap could close in about 6 months. Treat bonus, equity, promotions, and salary growth as uncertain until received.
Separate salary from the headline package
Base and expected cash bonus are used for the take-home scenario. Equity remains visible but is not treated as spendable monthly income.
Measure time, not only money
Runway translates liquid savings and committed costs into months. It can help frame the risk of retraining, a job search, or a reversible career experiment.
Change the assumptions
Compare conservative and ambitious growth rates. The spread between them is uncertainty, not a promise that the higher number will happen.
Use the result responsibly
Start with actual pay statements, bills, debt obligations, and liquid savings. The withholding field is only your estimate; taxes and benefits depend on jurisdiction and personal circumstances.
Do not resign, borrow, invest, exercise stock options, or make another high-stakes financial decision from this calculator alone. Verify compensation terms and consult qualified tax, financial, legal, or employment professionals when appropriate.
For career planning, pair the scenario with your work-personality result, occupation research, and a reversible experiment.

QUESTIONS
Does this tool predict my future salary?
No. It calculates a scenario from assumptions you enter. Employers, markets, performance, location, inflation, taxes, and life events can produce very different outcomes.
Does MindSoi store my salary information?
The current planner runs in your browser session and does not submit its inputs to MindSoi.
Is this financial or investment advice?
No. It is an educational budgeting and career-scenario tool. Consult qualified professionals for tax, investment, debt, legal, or other high-stakes decisions.
Why is equity separated from cash compensation?
Equity may be unvested, illiquid, volatile, forfeitable, or worth less than the stated value. The planner displays it in the package but excludes it from estimated monthly spendable cash.
