Tip: country presets are starting points only. Replace rates and prices with your actual figures whenever possible.

How this calculator works

The raise percentage is multiplied by current salary to calculate the annual increase, which is then added to current salary.

Formula

New salary = current salary × (1 + raise %)
Example

A 5% raise on $60,000 adds $3,000 annually and produces a new salary of $63,000 before taxes.

Getting a more accurate result

  • Use gross annual salary for a gross-pay comparison.
  • Remember that take-home pay may change by a different amount because of taxes and benefits.
  • For hourly workers, convert hourly pay to annual salary first or apply the percentage directly to the hourly rate.

Understanding your result

The result is intended for comparison and planning. Real-world costs can differ because of local taxes, fees, tariffs, financing, usage patterns, equipment efficiency, rounding and other conditions. For important decisions, verify the inputs against your bill, contract, lender, employer or other authoritative source.
