| From: | To: |
The Salary Increase Calculator helps you determine your new salary after a percentage increase. It's useful for evaluating raises, promotions, or cost-of-living adjustments.
The calculator uses the salary increase formula:
Where:
Example: If your current salary is 50,000 and you receive a 5% raise, your new salary would be 50,000 × 1.05 = 52,500.
Details: Understanding how raises affect your total compensation helps with financial planning and evaluating job offers or promotion opportunities.
Tips: Enter your current salary and the percentage increase you expect. The calculator will show your new salary amount.
Q1: How do I calculate a salary increase in reverse?
A: To find the percentage increase from old to new salary: ((New Salary - Old Salary) / Old Salary) × 100.
Q2: What's considered a good salary increase?
A: Typical annual raises range 2-5%. Promotions may offer 10-20% or more. Industry and location affect norms.
Q3: How does compounding work with multiple raises?
A: Each raise builds on the previous salary. Two 5% raises don't equal one 10% raise (5% then 5.25% of the new amount).
Q4: Should I consider taxes in this calculation?
A: This shows gross salary. Net pay depends on tax brackets and deductions that may change with higher income.
Q5: How can I compare offers with different benefits?
A: Consider total compensation including bonuses, stock, insurance, retirement matches, and other benefits.
