1. What is the NHS Pay Increase Calculator?

The NHS Pay Increase Calculator helps Canadian healthcare workers estimate their new salary after a pay increase. It calculates the adjusted pay based on current salary and the announced increase rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pay increase formula:

Where:

• Old Pay — Current salary in Canadian dollars (CAD)
• Rate — Percentage increase (e.g., 3 for 3%)

Explanation: The formula calculates the new salary by applying the percentage increase to the current salary.

3. Importance of Pay Increase Calculation

Details: Understanding your new salary helps with financial planning, budgeting, and evaluating the impact of negotiated pay increases in the healthcare sector.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current salary in CAD and the percentage increase (without % sign). Both values must be positive numbers.
