About Salary Increment After Tax Calculator

An increment is taxed entirely at your marginal rate, since it sits on top of existing income. At a 30% marginal rate a 12% raise adds only about 8.4% to take-home pay.

Formula

Net increment

Net = current × hike × (1 - marginal rate)

  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the raise feel smaller than promised?

Because the whole increase is taxed at your top rate, and statutory contributions often rise with it too.

Can any of it be sheltered?

Directing part of the increase to pension or other pre-tax benefits keeps more of it working for you.
