  • Raise % = (new salary − current salary) ÷ current salary × 100
  • Monthly difference = (new − current) ÷ 12

FAQ

How do I calculate a percentage raise?

Subtract your old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. $100k to $110k is a 10% raise.

What is a good raise percentage?

It depends on inflation, your market and performance. Compare against posted pay for your role, not just last year's salary.
