How It Works
A salary hike works both ways, and this calculator handles each. In the first mode, you apply a percentage increase to your current salary to see the revised figure and the rupee increase — useful when you are told “you’re getting a 10% raise”. In the second mode, you enter your current and new salary and it works out the exact hike percentage between them — useful for checking an offer or comparing appraisals. The percentage is always calculated on the current salary as the base, so a jump from ₹6,00,000 to ₹7,20,000 is a 20% hike. Make sure you compare like with like — both figures as CTC, or both as in-hand — since mixing them distorts the percentage. Remember too that a nominal raise only improves your standard of living if it beats inflation; otherwise your real (purchasing-power) income can fall despite a bigger number.
Formula
New salary = Current × (1 + hike% ÷ 100). Hike % = (New − Current) ÷ Current × 100.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my salary hike percentage?
Hike % = (New salary − Current salary) ÷ Current salary × 100. For example, ₹6,00,000 to ₹7,20,000 is (1,20,000 ÷ 6,00,000) × 100 = 20%.
How do I find my new salary after a raise?
New salary = Current × (1 + hike% ÷ 100). A 10% hike on ₹6,00,000 gives 6,00,000 × 1.10 = ₹6,60,000. Use the “Find New Salary” mode.
Should I compare CTC or in-hand salary?
Always compare like with like. A hike on CTC can look bigger than the change in take-home, because CTC includes components (PF, gratuity, benefits) that do not all reach your bank account.
What is a good annual salary hike?
It varies by industry and role, but average appraisals in India are often around 8–12%. A promotion or job switch typically brings a larger jump. Crucially, a good raise should beat inflation.
Does a raise always increase my real income?
Not necessarily. If your hike is below the inflation rate, your purchasing power actually falls despite earning more rupees. Compare your hike % to inflation to judge the real gain.
