How does this calculator apply a raise to my salary?+
It takes your current salary and increases it by the percentage (or fixed amount) you specify, giving you the new salary figure. A percentage raise is calculated as your current salary multiplied by (1 + raise percentage).
Is a 5% raise on a higher salary worth more than a 5% raise on a lower one?+
Yes — because the raise is a percentage of your current salary, the same percentage produces a larger dollar increase for someone with a higher starting salary. This is why comparing raises purely by percentage across different salary levels can be misleading.
Does this calculation account for taxes on the raise?+
No, it calculates your new gross salary before taxes. Since tax brackets are often progressive, a raise can sometimes push part of your income into a higher tax bracket, meaning your take-home pay increase will typically be somewhat smaller than the full raise amount.
How do I calculate a raise that includes both a percentage and a bonus?+
Calculate the percentage raise on your base salary first to get the new base salary, then add any separate bonus amount on top — bonuses are typically a one-time payment rather than a permanent increase to your ongoing salary.
Should I compare raises using percentage or dollar amount?+
Both are useful depending on context: percentage helps compare raises across people with different salaries or against inflation and cost-of-living changes, while the dollar amount tells you the actual impact on your budget and take-home pay.
