Figure out best way to present first salary estimate year in Lønnskalkulator

[myth]

Currently, the salary adjustment estimate shows 3 years, where we assume a flat 4% salary increase.
The steps between years also include the jump in salary level, except from the first year.

Case is that we in practice have potentially 2 salary adjustment dates, one in january when we adjust the entire table, and one whenever the employee hits another full year of work experience.

So this ends up as it currently is implemented, that in january, it looks like you will be almost 2 years on the same salary level, but if you look at the page in december, it's 1 year and 1 month before jump in salary level.

How do we present this without having to leak the practicalities of our salary adjustment into the widget (i.e without having to have paragraphs of text and asterisks), and also avoiding being misleading?
