Find your new salary after a hike, or work out exactly what percentage increase you got — enter your salary details, no sign-up required.
How Salary Hike Is Calculated
Hike Amount = Current Salary × Hike % ÷ 100. New Salary = Current Salary + Hike Amount. To find the hike percentage instead: Hike % = ((New Salary − Old Salary) ÷ Old Salary) × 100. For example, a ₹6,00,000 salary with a 12% hike gets a hike amount of ₹72,000, taking the new salary to ₹6,72,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is salary hike percentage calculated?
Hike % = ((New Salary − Old Salary) ÷ Old Salary) × 100. For example, if your salary went from ₹5,00,000 to ₹5,50,000, the hike is (50,000 ÷ 5,00,000) × 100 = 10%.
Is salary hike calculated on CTC or in-hand salary?
It depends on the company. Most Indian employers calculate the hike percentage on annual CTC (Cost to Company), not on in-hand or take-home salary. Always check your appraisal letter to confirm which figure was used.
What is considered a good salary hike percentage in India?
Average annual increments in India typically range from 8-10% for standard performance, while a job switch can bring 20-40% or more. This varies widely by industry, role, and company performance.
Does this calculator account for tax deductions?
No. This tool calculates the gross salary hike only. Your actual in-hand increase will be lower after income tax, PF, and other deductions are applied.
How do I calculate my new salary from a hike percentage?
Use the “Find New Salary” tab, enter your current salary and the hike percentage you were offered, and the calculator instantly shows the hike amount and your new salary.
