How to use it
- Enter your current pay. Type what you earn now. Any period works, a yearly salary, a monthly amount or an hourly rate, as long as you use the same period for the raise.
- Say how the raise is given. Choose a percentage if you were told something like 4 percent, an amount if you were told a sum added to your pay, or your new pay if you only know the new figure.
- Read your new pay and the raise. The results show your new pay, the raise in money and the raise as a percentage of your current pay, so you can compare offers or plan what to ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a raise percentage?
Subtract your current pay from your new pay, divide the difference by your current pay and multiply by 100. For example, going from 60,000 to 63,000 is a raise of 3,000, and 3,000 divided by 60,000 is 0.05, which is a 5 percent raise.
Does the calculator include taxes?
No. It works with the pay figures you enter, before any tax or deduction. Your take-home pay after a raise depends on your own tax situation and deductions, so check a payslip after the raise starts to see the exact change.
Can I use it for an hourly rate?
Yes. Enter your hourly rate as current pay and the raise in the same terms: a percentage, an amount added per hour, or your new hourly rate. The results are then per hour too.
What if my raise is a lump sum instead?
A one-time bonus does not change your ongoing pay, so it is not a raise in this sense. To see what a bonus adds to your year, use the total compensation calculator, which adds a bonus percentage and other cash to your base pay.
