Salary Hike Calculator
Find a revised salary from a hike percentage, or calculate the percentage change between old and new pay.
Calculate salary increase
Formula
New salary = old salary × (1 + hike% ÷ 100). Reverse hike percentage = (new − old) ÷ old × 100.
Example
A 10% hike on ₹50,000 monthly pay adds ₹5,000 per month, producing ₹55,000 monthly and ₹60,000 additional gross pay per year.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a salary hike?
Hike amount = old salary × hike percentage ÷ 100. New salary = old salary + hike amount.
How do I find the hike percentage from two salaries?
Subtract old salary from new salary, divide the difference by old salary, and multiply by 100.
Is salary hike the same as take-home increase?
No. Tax, provident fund, benefits, insurance, bonus, and payroll deductions can make the take-home change different.
What this calculator estimates
A salary hike compares the old and new salary on the same pay period. Gross salary changes do not equal the change in take-home pay after tax and deductions.
Methodology and assumptions
The percentage hike is the difference between new and old gross salary divided by the old salary, multiplied by 100. Monthly and annual comparisons use the same pay basis and do not infer tax, benefits, bonus, variable pay, or payroll deductions.
