How It Works
The raise amount is current salary multiplied by the raise percentage. The new salary is current salary plus the raise amount.
The calculator applies the raise percentage to your current salary or hourly rate and adds the increase to the current amount. It can therefore show the gross difference before payroll deductions.
If you enter an annual salary, the result stays annual; if you enter an hourly rate, it shows the new hourly rate. Taxes, benefits, and changes in working hours are not estimated.
Formula
- S — Current salary
- r — Raise percentage
- N — New salary
Example
Example inputs: $60,000 salary with a 5% raise.
Result: Raise: $3,000. New annual salary: $63,000. Monthly gross increase: $250.
