Salary raise calculator

In the forward direction, the increase is the current salary multiplied by the raise percent, and the new salary is the current salary plus that increase. In the reverse direction, the increase is the new salary minus the old one, and the percent is that increase divided by the old salary. Both are the same relationship read from different ends, and the tool shows every line so you can check it rather than trust it.

Gross, and only gross. The tool works on the pay figure you enter, before any tax, and it computes no tax at all: it will not tell you what a raise adds to take-home, because that depends on tax bands, thresholds and social contributions that differ by country, change over time and are not the kind of number this site will invent. For net pay, take the gross figure here to your payroll partner or an official calculator for the country concerned.

Yes, that is the reverse mode. Enter an old salary and a new salary and the tool gives you the percentage increase between them, along with the increase amount. It is the same arithmetic run backwards, and it is useful for reading a raise someone else expressed as two numbers, or for checking that a percentage you were quoted matches the figures you were given.

No. A percentage raise behaves identically whatever period the pay figure covers, so an 8 percent raise is 8 percent whether you enter an annual salary, a monthly one or an hourly rate. The one rule is to keep both figures on the same basis in the reverse mode: comparing an old annual salary with a new monthly one would give a meaningless percentage. The currency is a label here too, and nothing converts between currencies.

No. It computes in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no email wall, no account and no storage. The link button puts your figures in the address itself if you want to send them to someone, and the page says so before you use it, but pay figures are sensitive so think before you paste that link somewhere public.
