Work out salary hike percentage instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The hike percentage is the increase divided by the current salary. Comparing offers on percentage alone can mislead when the packages are structured differently, so check the in-hand and benefit components too.
Hike percentage
Hike % = (new - old) / old × 100
Tax figures are estimates based on the rates, caps and thresholds you enter. Real rules differ by jurisdiction and change every year, and personal circumstances alter the outcome. This is not tax or financial advice — confirm with a qualified adviser.
Use the same basis on both sides. Comparing a new CTC with an old gross figure inflates the apparent hike.
Anything below the inflation rate is a real-terms pay cut, whatever the headline number looks like.
