About the Hike calculator

Compute your new salary after a percentage hike, or work backwards from a target salary to the raise you need to negotiate. See the annual increase and the monthly bump in one tap.

    Drag the slider for a quick preview, or tap the value chip to type an exact number.
  4. 4
    Read the result
    See your new salary, the absolute increase, the monthly bump, and the salary multiplier (e.g. 1.18×).

Frequently asked questions

  • New salary = Current salary × (1 + hike% / 100). For target mode, required hike% = (Target − Current) / Current × 100.

  • The calculator works on whatever annual figure you enter. If you input gross (pre-tax) salary, you get new gross; if you input net pay, you get new net pay. It does not subtract tax — use a tax calculator separately.

  • In the US, average merit raises are typically 3–5%, with high performers seeing 7–10%. A job switch often delivers a 10–20% bump, and tech, finance or specialized roles can see 20–40%+ for the right move. Benchmarks vary by industry, role and location — check sites like Levels.fyi, Glassdoor or BLS data for your role.

  • Switch to Target mode, enter your current salary and the offer amount. The calculator shows the exact percentage hike that the offer represents.

  • No. It applies the hike to a single annual figure. If your variable pay (bonus, RSUs, commission) scales differently, calculate base and variable components separately.
