- Example
- An 8% raise on a $60,000 salary gives $64,800, an extra $4,800 a year or $400 a month. With 5% inflation, the real raise is about 2.9%.

- Enter your current salary and choose whether it is yearly, monthly or hourly.
- Enter the raise as a percentage, an amount or the new salary.
- Optionally, add the inflation rate to see your real raise.
Interpretation and limitations
- How do I calculate a raise percentage? Subtract your old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. The calculator does this when you choose "New salary".
- What is a real raise? It is your raise adjusted for inflation. If prices rise faster than your pay, your real raise is negative even though your salary went up.
- What is a typical annual raise? It varies by country, industry and inflation. Raises that at least match inflation keep your buying power steady.
