About Pay Raise Calculator
Pay Raise Calculator works out the raise percentage from your old and new pay, or the new pay from a raise percentage, and shows what the raise is worth after inflation.
Enter your current annual pay and either the new pay or the raise percentage. The calculator shows the percentage change, the annual and monthly increase in dollars, and the inflation-adjusted raise, so a 5% raise in a year when prices rose 3% is not mistaken for a full 5% gain. Inflation is an input you control, because the right rate depends on the period you are comparing. Calculator results depend on the inputs, units, assumptions, formulas and reference date or rate where applicable. Confirm units and assumptions, compare the result with a known example when possible, and verify current external rates or rules.
Primary objective: Computes raise percentage or new pay from current pay, plus the inflation-adjusted real raise.
Privacy assurance: The calculation is performed locally in the browser from the values you enter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the real raise calculated?
The real raise divides the nominal raise by inflation: (1 + raise) / (1 + inflation) − 1. A 5% raise with 3% inflation is a real raise of about 1.94%, not 2%.
Should I use salary or hourly pay?
Use the same basis on both sides. Annual salary is simplest; if you are hourly, multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a year and compare like with like.
What inflation rate should I enter?
Use the consumer price change over the same period as the raise, for example the last twelve months. If you leave it at the default, treat the real raise as an estimate, not an official figure.
What should I check before using the Pay Raise Calculator result?
Confirm units and assumptions, compare the result with a known example when possible, and verify current external rates or rules. The result is a mathematical model based on the supplied inputs and assumptions.
Does Pay Raise Calculator replace a professional or authoritative source?
No. Pay Raise Calculator is a practical utility. Where the result affects a regulated, financial, medical, legal or business decision, verify it against the appropriate authoritative source or qualified professional.
What can affect the result of Pay Raise Calculator?
Calculator results depend on the inputs, units, assumptions, formulas and reference date or rate where applicable. Input quality and the selected options can also change the result.
