Pay Raise Calculator

Pay Raise Calculator turns current pay and a raise percent into a raise amount and a new pay. It does not withhold tax and it does not compare two offers.

One percent on the number you type

The fields are Current pay and Raise %. The button reads Calculate Pay Raise. Increase is current pay times the percent divided by 100. New pay is current pay plus that increase. The form opens on 60000 and 5. That is a raise of 3000 and a new pay of 63000. The lines are labeled Raise amount and New pay. Thousands grouping follows the browser locale, so a US locale shows 3,000 and 63,000. A negative current pay stops with Pay cannot be negative. A negative percent lowers the new pay, because the formula still adds a negative increase.

What this comparison is not

There is no second salary, no tax table, and no hours-per-week field. Salary Converter and the hourly tools answer a different question about the same money spread across time. Overtime Pay Calculator uses an overtime rate. This page will not tell you whether 5 percent is a strong offer. It will not inflate the raise by compounding it year after year. If the note says the raise applies only to base and not to a bonus, type the base alone. The result uses the same units you typed. The labels do not add a currency sign. Typing 85000 at 4 percent is a raise of 3400 and a new pay of 88400. That is the same multiplication as the default, only with different inputs.

A second check on the default

60000 times 0.05 is 3000. 60000 plus 3000 is 63000. Change the percent to 0 and the raise amount should be 0 and the new pay should stay 60000. Change the percent to 10 and the raise should be 6000 and the new pay 66000. If those three checks disagree, the fields are not the numbers you think. A percent with decimals is read as typed: at 2.5 percent on 60000 the raise is 1500 and the new pay is 61500. Last checked: October 2026, against payRaise. This is arithmetic on one figure, not a payroll quote and not a benefits statement.

When the percent is the wrong input

A raise stated as a flat amount, such as 2000 more, is a subtraction you do yourself. This form has no amount field, only a percent. A promotion that changes the pay unit from hourly to yearly needs a different calculator before you type the percent. Do not paste a number that already includes the raise and then add the percent again. A 3 percent raise on 60000 is 1800, and the new pay is 61800. A 12.5 percent raise on 60000 is 7500, and the new pay is 67500. The form prints those with the same grouping as the default. The figures stay in this browser.
