Switch between a percentage or a new salary amount.
What a hike percentage really means
Percentage vs. amount
A 12% hike on $110k is very different from 12% on $60k. Always read the dollar difference alongside the percentage.
Gross, not take-home
This shows the gross increase. Tax means your monthly net rises by less — check the Salary Calculator for the real figure.
A bigger number deserves a bigger profile.
Find the skills that justify your next raise and put them on an ATS-ready resume.
About the Salary Hike Calculator
The Salary Hike Calculator helps you work out your new salary after a raise, or the percentage hike between your current and new pay. Enter your current salary and either the hike percentage or the offered amount to see the result instantly.
It is useful when you receive an increment letter or a new job offer and want to compare it fairly against your current package.
Frequently asked questions
How is a salary hike percentage calculated?
The hike percentage is ((New salary minus Current salary) divided by Current salary) multiplied by 100. For example, going from 8 LPA to 10 LPA is a 25 percent hike.
Should I compare CTC or in-hand salary?
Where possible, compare in-hand (take-home) pay, since CTC can include components you may not receive every month. Use our Salary Calculator to estimate take-home.
Is the result saved anywhere?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored.

How the Salary Hike Calculator works
Enter your current and new (or expected) salary and the tool shows your hike as both a percentage and an absolute amount, so you can see at a glance whether an increment or a new offer is genuinely competitive. It takes the guesswork out of “is this a good raise?”
What counts as a good hike?
An annual in-company increment in IT is often 8–15%, while switching companies typically delivers a much larger jump — commonly 30–50%, and sometimes more for in-demand skills. That gap is why changing jobs has long been the fastest way to raise your pay in tech. Use this tool to check whether a counter-offer or a new role actually beats staying put — and confirm the real take-home difference with the Salary Calculator.
How to maximise your next hike
- Know your market rate before any conversation.
- Negotiate total compensation, not just base salary.
- Use a competing offer as leverage — compare them with the Job Offer Comparison tool.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 10% raise good?
For an internal increment, 10% is reasonable. For a company switch you can usually aim higher — often 30% or more, depending on your skills and the market.
Does a percentage hike tell the whole story?
Not quite — always check the take-home difference after tax, and weigh benefits, role, and growth, not just the headline percentage.
