Nice tool. Just curious... how did you chose the default investment return and salary growth over inflation?

Maybe you can add some tooltips in both fields explaining what are typical realistic values.

Thanks for taking a look.

Good question. Investment return is a ballpark figure from my knowledge of long-run assumptions in the investment industry, and for salary growth I've put a conservative estimate. Salary growth in particular is more intended to be picked by the user for their specific circumstance and understanding of pay growth in their role.

Tooltips are a great idea, certainly planning to add these!
