Is there any online retirement calculators that will let you calculate for a known jump in pay?
Right now I'm making 23k. Soon I should be making somewhere between 60-100k. Yes I know I could just imput the higher salary in, but I want a true projection (also there's a possibility that I will only make 35k for 3 years, then 80-100k).
I'd like one that says "Save this percent of your salary through everything and you'll be fine."

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Save 50% of your salary though everything and you'll be fine.  |

Sorry, that wasn't particularly helpful.
ETA my inner snark is apparently not being held in check right now.

Somewhere between $60k and $100k is a pretty big range. How are you going to get a true projection when your range is so large?
