Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my new salary after a raise?
Multiply your current salary by the raise percentage to get the increase, then add it to your current salary. A 5% raise on 50,000 adds 2,500, for a new salary of 52,500. You can also enter a flat raise amount and the tool derives the matching percentage for you.
How is the monthly increase worked out?
The annual increase is divided by 12. A 2,500 yearly raise works out to 208.33 more per month before tax. This assumes the raise is paid evenly across all twelve months rather than as a one-off bonus.
Can I enter a flat cash raise instead of a percent?
Yes. Click the Raise by amount toggle and type the cash added to your salary. The calculator then shows the equivalent percentage, which makes it easy to compare a flat offer against a percentage offer on the same footing.
Does this account for taxes and deductions?
No. Every figure is gross, before income tax, payroll deductions, pension contributions and benefits. Your real take-home increase will be smaller and depends on your tax bracket. Use a take-home pay calculator to estimate the net amount.
Can I use it for hourly, weekly or monthly pay?
Yes, as long as you keep the same period throughout. If you enter a monthly salary, the New salary and Total increase are monthly too, but the Per month card divides an annual figure by 12, so it is only meaningful when you enter an annual salary.
Does it work in other currencies?
Yes. Pick your currency from the dropdown and every result is formatted with the right symbol and separators. The math is identical across currencies because a percentage raise is currency independent.
What is the largest salary or raise I can enter?
The salary field accepts up to 1,000,000 and the flat raise field up to 500,000, while the percentage field is capped at 100%. These limits cover almost every real pay scenario and keep the sliders sensible.
How should I compare two job offers with different raises?
Convert both to the same view. Enter each offer once and read the Increase percent so a flat cash bump and a percentage bump line up, or compare the New salary figures directly. Remember to factor in benefits and cost of living, which this tool does not model.
Is my salary data private?
Yes. The calculation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to a server, logged or stored, so your pay details never leave your device.
