Salary Increase Calculator
Calculate your salary increase — enter your old and new salary (or a raise percentage) to see the percentage increase, the dollar difference per year and per month.
Turning a raise into a clear number
A raise is easiest to judge as a percentage: subtract your old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary, and multiply by 100. So $60,000 to $66,000 is a 10% raise — $6,000 more a year, about $500 a month before tax. This calculator works it out either way: enter the new salary to get the percentage, or enter a raise percentage to get the new salary, along with the yearly and monthly difference.
Gross vs take-home
Remember the figures here are gross — taxes take a share of any raise, and a higher salary can nudge part of your income into a higher bracket. To see what a new salary actually adds to your paycheck, run both numbers through the paycheck calculator and compare the take-home pay.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my salary increase percentage?
Subtract your old salary from your new salary, divide by the old salary, and multiply by 100. For example, going from $60,000 to $66,000 is ($66,000 − $60,000) ÷ $60,000 × 100 = 10%. Enter both salaries above and the calculator does it instantly, plus the monthly difference.

Typical merit raises run around 3–5% a year, roughly tracking inflation, while promotions or job changes often bring 10–20% or more. What counts as “good” depends on your role, performance and the market — the calculator helps you see any offer as a clear percentage and dollar figure.
