Mathematicians help needed
« on: 06 July 2011, 11:41 »
Lo Folken.

Don't know if I know a more diverse bunch so fingers crossed one of you clever sods may be able to help me.

As titled, I am after the help of a maths wizzard to show one not so clever as I how to calculate a steady percentage increase over a set amount of time.

Thankings.

gents.....the example.

on the 1st jan 2000, a mans salary is 46,500. he gets a cost of living raise on 1st jan 2001 of 5.4%. he is now earning 49,011. this is still his salary on 1st oct 2001.

his workload increase in equal monthly increments by 23%.

what i need to calculate is the amount of extra money each monthly raise in workload should generate if the salary raise was equal culmulating in a final amount.

make sense?

your help is, as always, most gratefully received.
