How is a salary hike calculated?
A hike is a percentage of your current salary.
New salary = current × (1 + hike ÷ 100)
Hike % = (new − current) ÷ current × 100
Hike vs real increase
A 6% raise with 5% inflation is only about a 1% real increase in what you can buy. Compare your hike with inflation, and remember a bigger salary can also move part of it into a higher tax slab.
Switching jobs
When comparing an offer, compare in-hand pay, not just CTC: PF structure, variable pay, joining bonus and notice-period buyout all change what you actually receive. Our In-Hand Salary Calculator helps.
