Appendix B: Calculation of Lost Wages Calculation of mean expected inflation rate: We estimate that the mean future inflation rate will be about 3.333%
Appendix B: Calculation of Lost Wages • Mr. McDuff’s 2009 Yearly Salary: $48000 • Mean Inflation Rate Per Year: 3.333% • Real Increase in Wages Per Year: 3% • Tax Rate: 25% • Wages per year for future years: (wages for previous year)(1.0333)(1.03) • [e.g. wages for 2010: (wages for 2009 = $48000)(1.0333)(1.03) = $51086.35] • Yearly wages after tax: (yearly wages)(.75) • Present value of future wages: (wages per year)(present value factor)
Appendix B: Calculation of Lost Wages • Half of wages for 2009, after tax: $48000/2(.75) = $18000 • Total wages owed: $393275.79 + $18000 = $411275.79
