Salary increase formulas
Two formulas cover the most common salary-raise calculations.
New salary after a raise
New salary = Current salary × (1 + increase / 100)
Apply the percentage to the current salary.
Percentage required for a target
Increase (%) = (New − Old) / Old × 100
Compare the difference with the starting salary.
The calculator works on the salary amount entered; gross/net treatment is a separate calculation.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a salary increase?
Multiply current salary by the increase percentage, then add that amount to the current salary.
How do I find the raise percentage between two salaries?
Subtract the old salary from the new salary, divide by the old salary, then multiply by 100.
Does the calculator use gross or net salary?
It calculates the change on whichever consistent salary basis you enter. Do not mix gross and net amounts.
