Pay Raise Calculator
See your new pay and the size of the increase the moment a raise percentage lands on your current pay.
Any unit, any currency
Enter an hourly rate, a monthly figure, or an annual salary — the result comes back in the same unit you typed in.
Gross, not take-home
The new pay is before tax and deductions, so your net increase is usually smaller than the headline figure.
What is a pay raise calculator?
New pay and the increase, in one step
A pay raise calculator turns a raise percentage into two concrete numbers: your new pay and the amount the raise adds on top of what you earn today. It works for anyone weighing an offer, a promotion, or an annual review — enter your current pay and the percentage, and it does the proportion for you so you can see the headline figure and the raw difference together.
Multiply your current pay by the raise percentage to find the increase, then add it back on.
New pay = current pay × (1 + raise% ÷ 100)The increase amount is simply your current pay multiplied by the raise percentage — 2,500 in the example above. Because the formula is a plain proportion, it scales to any figure: the same 5% turns a 20.00 hourly rate into 21.00 just as cleanly as it lifts a 50,000 salary to 52,500.
Suppose your current salary is 50,000 and you are offered a 5% raise.
Find the increase
50,000 × (5 ÷ 100) = 2,500, the increase amount.Add it to current pay
50,000 + 2,500 = 52,500.Read the result
Your new pay is 52,500 — a 2,500 rise on what you earn today.
The new pay is your gross figure — before tax and deductions — so the amount that reaches your account rises by less than the headline increase, especially if part of the raise crosses into a higher tax bracket. To judge whether the raise is a real gain, compare the percentage to inflation over the same period: a 5% raise in a 2% inflation year leaves you better off in real terms, while a 3% raise against 4% inflation is effectively a small cut in buying power. The calculation works the same way for an hourly rate, a monthly wage, or an annual salary — read the result in whichever unit you entered.
The arithmetic is exact, but it answers a narrow question.
Pre-tax only — ignores deductions and bonuses
This calculator works out the gross pay after a percentage raise and nothing more. It does not account for income tax, social contributions, pension deductions, bonuses, or benefits, all of which change what you actually take home. Use it for the headline figure, then check a net-pay calculator or your payslip for the amount you keep.
