Introduction to the Salary Calculator

Need to calculate your salary? Look no further than the Salary Calculator. Whether you need to figure out how much you would earn if you got a three percent increase, or if you got a series of monetary increases, you can find out on the Salary Calculator with just a few inputs and the click of a button. Try it today!

Enter your information and BOOM, calculations!

The Salary Calculator is pretty simple. The default value for Current Annual Salary is $100,000. If you're a data scientist, then that amount should be no surprise to you. It's only the sexiest job of the 21st century! Here's some sample code:

library(shiny)
numericInput("sal", label = h4("Current annual salary"), value = '100000')

<!–/html_preserve–>

Add a slider (no, not a Wagyu beef slider)

The Salary Increase Percentage slider is pretty cool as well. What if you only want to know what your new salary would be if you got a five percent raise? A 10 percent raise? That sounds pretty sweet!

sliderInput('percent', "Salary increase percentage:",
      min = 0, max = 100, value = '3', step= 1)

Summary

So there you have it. Use your new powers for good.
