Whether you're evaluating an appraisal letter or a new job offer, expressing a raise as a percentage makes it easy to compare against inflation, industry benchmarks, or another offer.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your old (current) salary.
- Enter your new (revised or offered) salary.
- Choose whether you're entering monthly or annual figures.
- View the percentage hike and the monthly/annual increase in rupees.
How the Calculation Works
Hike % = ((New Salary − Old Salary) ÷ Old Salary) × 100
Worked Example
Old salary ₹60,000/month, new salary ₹72,000/month: Hike = ((72,000 − 60,000) ÷ 60,000) × 100 = 20%. Monthly increase = ₹12,000; annual increase = ₹1,44,000.
Who Should Use This
Employees evaluating an appraisal, HR teams benchmarking raises, and job seekers comparing a new offer with their current pay.
Important Considerations
A hike percentage on CTC is not the same as a hike percentage on in-hand salary, since the proportion of variable pay, benefits and deductions can shift between roles. Compare like-for-like figures where possible.
Common Mistakes
Comparing a new CTC figure against an old in-hand or gross figure (rather than old CTC) inflates the apparent hike percentage — always compare the same type of figure on both sides.
