About
WageBloom is a free simulation tool for exploring how today’s work income and saving choices could create more options over time.
Why build it?
Most hourly wage calculators stop at today’s shift or this month’s paycheck. Yet the same income can lead to very different outcomes depending on how much remains available, how consistently it is invested, and how long the plan continues. WageBloom connects those questions in one transparent flow.
The goal is not to recommend a financial product. It is to help users change assumptions themselves and understand the relationship between wages, contribution rates, time, returns, and inflation.
Operating principles
- Transparency: Publish formulas, assumptions, sources, and excluded items.
- Comparability: Show principal and inflation-adjusted value beside nominal assets.
- Data minimization: Do not attach calculator inputs to an account or store them on our server.
- Independence: Do not recommend a particular broker, bank, insurer, fund, or security.
- Correctability: Improve calculation errors, accessibility issues, and unclear explanations in the public repository.
Use the results carefully
Results assume that the return and inflation rate remain constant for the full period. Actual wages, work schedules, taxes, expenses, and market returns will differ. Do not use the output alone to make an investment, loan, tax, legal, or employment decision.
U.S. minimum wage references are general adult, non-tipped starting points from the Department of Labor summary. Local laws and individual coverage can differ. Review the latest official guidance or a qualified professional when a decision requires legal, employment, tax, or investment judgment.
