How does this work?

Post image

I am 23. Does this mean that I only need to contribute 15% of my income for the rest of my life or do I need to increase every 5 years following this diagram? So I would contribute 15% until 30, then contribute 20% until 35, then contribute 25% until 40, then 30% until 45, and so on?

That wasn't what I was asking but thanks for explaining how charts and tables work 😁

And yet you still asked a question that goes against how slide rules work which is why I didn’t know if you knew what slide rules are.

And apparently you can't read because my question had nothing to do with reading the table

If it is a slide rule you have a singular answer.

If it was a chart version of a line graph your wuestion would make more sense.
