Salary increase calculator
Salary Increase Calculator
Enter your current salary and raise percentage to see the increase amount and your new salary. The same calculation works for annual, monthly, weekly, or hourly pay.
New salary
52,500
A 5% salary increase on 50,000 adds 2,500 and gives a new salary of 52,500.
Raise amount
2,500
Current salary
50,000
How it works
Turn the raise percentage into a new salary
A salary increase calculator converts the raise percentage into a multiplier, applies it to your current salary, and adds the resulting raise amount to show your new pay.
Formula
new salary = current salary + (increase % × current salary)
Use the same pay period for the starting amount and result. An annual salary produces an annual result, while monthly pay produces a monthly result.
Worked example
- 1. Start with a current salary of 50,000.
- 2. Divide 5 by 100 to get 0.05.
- 3. Multiply 50,000 by 0.05 to get an increase of 2,500.
- 4. Add 2,500 to 50,000 for a new salary of 52,500.
Before comparing offers
- Use the same period: compare annual with annual or monthly with monthly.
- Keep gross and net separate: a raise applied to gross salary does not directly predict take-home pay.
- Include other compensation: bonuses, benefits, and equity may matter when comparing total packages.
