what's the code you got so far? we cant help without knowing what you've got vs where you're stuck

So far I am using a for...loop from current age to retirement age.
The problem I am having is try to write a code for calculating the current salary times Annual raise from the current age to retire age using a loop.

Its hard to tell without seeing the actual source but give this a shot:

each iteration of the for loop multiply the salary by (e.g. for 5%) 1.05
