Pay Raise Calculator

Our Pay Raise Calculator helps you calculate a salary increase from your current annual salary. Enter a raise percentage, a dollar raise amount, or your new salary to find the increase percentage and updated pay.

The calculator shows the change in annual, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and hourly pay. It uses gross salary and does not estimate taxes, deductions, or take-home pay.

How to Calculate a Pay Raise

A percentage-based pay raise can be calculated by multiplying your current salary by the raise percentage.

Raise Amount = Current Salary × Raise % ÷ 100
New Salary = Current Salary + Raise Amount
Raise % = Raise Amount ÷ Current Salary × 100
Hourly Increase = Annual Increase ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)

For example, a 5% raise on a $50,000 annual salary is a $2,500 increase. The new annual salary is $52,500.

Salary Increase Calculator

“Salary increase calculator,” “pay raise calculator,” “salary raise calculator,” and “salary increment calculator” can describe the same basic calculation: finding the difference between an existing salary and a higher salary.

If you know your current salary and the percentage of your raise, use the Percentage Raise mode. If you know the dollar amount of the increase, use Dollar Raise. If you know your old and new salaries, use Find Raise %.

How to Calculate a Salary Increment

To calculate a salary increment, subtract the old salary from the new salary. To express the increase as a percentage, divide that difference by the old salary and multiply by 100.

For example, if your salary increases from $50,000 to $52,500, the increase is $2,500 and the percentage increase is 5%.

How Much Does a $5,000 Raise Increase Your Paycheck?

What Is a 2%, 3%, 5%, or 10% Raise?
