What this calculator actually models
A useful raise calculator works in both directions. You may know the percentage and need the new salary, know the new offer and need the percentage, or have a target and need the required raise. This workspace keeps those jobs together and also shows the monthly and inflation-adjusted change.
How to use this calculator
Choose whether you know the raise percentage or the new/target pay.
Enter current annual pay using one consistent basis such as gross salary or CTC.
Review annual and monthly increase, raise percentage and optional inflation-adjusted change.
Where people use it
- •Checking an appraisal hike
- •Comparing an old salary with a new offer
- •Finding the percentage needed to reach a target salary
Example: 10% raise on 60,000
A 10% raise produces 66,000 annual pay, an increase of 6,000 per year or 500 per month before taxes and deductions.
Assumptions and limits
- •Keep current and new pay on the same basis. Do not compare base salary with CTC.
- •The calculator does not estimate taxes, benefits, variable pay or take-home salary.
- •Inflation adjustment is a mathematical comparison using the rate you enter, not a forecast.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate hike percentage?+
Subtract old pay from new pay, divide by old pay and multiply by 100.
Can I use monthly salary?+
The percentage math is the same, but this page labels monetary inputs as annual. Convert both figures to the same annual basis first.
Is CTC the same as take-home pay?+
No. CTC can include employer costs and benefits that are not paid as monthly take-home salary.
