Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a raise percentage?
Raise % = (new pay − old pay) ÷ old pay × 100. Going from $60,000 to $63,000 is (63,000 − 60,000) ÷ 60,000 = 5%.
How do I calculate my new salary from a percent raise?
Multiply your current pay by 1 plus the raise as a decimal. A 4% raise on $55,000 is 55,000 × 1.04 = $57,200.
How much is a 3% raise?
A 3% raise adds $3 for every $100 you earn. On a $50,000 salary that is $1,500 a year, or $125 a month. On $20 an hour it is $0.60 more per hour.
How do I convert an hourly raise to a yearly salary?
Multiply the hourly amount by your weekly hours and by 52. A $2 per hour raise at 40 hours a week adds 2 × 40 × 52 = $4,160 a year.
What is a real raise?
A real raise adjusts for inflation: (1 + raise) ÷ (1 + inflation) − 1. A 5% raise with 3% inflation is a real raise of about 1.94%. If inflation is higher than your raise, your buying power falls.
Does this include taxes?
No. All figures are gross pay before taxes and deductions. Your take-home increase will be smaller than the gross raise.
