1. What is the Hourly Pay Increase Calculator?

The Hourly Pay Increase Calculator helps you determine your new hourly wage after a percentage-based raise. It's useful for employees evaluating job offers or pay raises, and employers calculating payroll adjustments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pay increase formula:

Where:

• Old Hourly Pay — Your current hourly wage
• Rate — The percentage increase in your pay

Explanation: The formula calculates the new pay by adding the percentage increase to your original pay.

3. Importance of Pay Increase Calculation

Details: Understanding your new wage helps with financial planning, comparing job offers, and negotiating salaries. It also helps employers budget for payroll increases.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current hourly pay and the percentage increase. Both values must be positive numbers (rate can be 0 for no increase).
