Salary Calculation Formula
The estimated salary is calculated based on a base salary that increases with years of experience. The formula used is:
Estimated Salary (S):
§§ S = Base Salary + (Years of Experience \times Increment per Year) §§
Where:
- § S § — estimated salary
- § Base Salary § — a starting salary based on the job title and skill level
- § Increment per Year § — the additional amount added for each year of experience
Example:
If the base salary for a Developer is $50,000 and the increment per year is $5,000, then for 3 years of experience, the calculation would be:
§§ S = 50000 + (3 \times 5000) = 60000 §§
