Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my salary after a raise?
Multiply your current salary by the raise percentage (as a decimal), then add it to your current salary. For example, a $65,000 salary with an 8% raise: $65,000 × 0.08 = $5,200 raise, new salary = $70,200.
What is a good raise percentage?
Average annual raises are 3–5% for cost-of-living adjustments and merit increases. Promotional raises are typically 10–20%. A raise above 5% is considered above average in most industries.
How much more will I take home per paycheck?
Divide your annual raise amount by the number of pay periods. For a $5,200 annual raise paid biweekly (26 periods), that’s about $200 more per paycheck before taxes.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
This calculator shows your gross salary increase. For after-tax estimates, use our state paycheck calculators to compare your old and new take-home pay.
How do I calculate a raise from an hourly rate?
Convert hourly to annual first: hourly rate × 2,080 (standard full-time hours). Apply the raise percentage, then divide back by 2,080 for your new hourly rate.
What is the reverse salary calculator?
The reverse mode lets you enter your new salary offer and current salary to calculate what percentage raise that represents. Useful when evaluating a job offer or counter-offer.
