Salt has been used as a food preservative for thousands of years, so it will keep indefinitely unless it is contaminated with foreign substances or gets wet and/or hardens. Kept clean and dry it will keep indefinitely. You can keep salt dry from humidity by putting a few grains of uncooked rice in salt shaker with it.

As long as the salt is stored clean and dry, it could last forever.
