The percentage hike between your old and new salary, and the real raise after inflation
Estimates only, not financial advice. What you type stays on your device. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.The hike percentage is the new salary minus the old, divided by the old, times 100. Moving from ₹50,000 to ₹57,500 a month is a 15% hike. Enter both salaries, monthly or annual, to get the percentage, the extra pay per month and per year, and, with the year’s inflation added, the real raise that is left.

| Before | After | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ₹50,000 | ₹57,500 | +₹7,500 |
| Annual | ₹6,00,000 | ₹6,90,000 | +₹90,000 |
New salary = old × (1 + hike ÷ 100). Hike = (new − old) ÷ old × 100. Monthly = annual ÷ 12.
"The new salary" is already selected under "You know", with salaries entered Per month.
Type your old pay in "Current salary" and your new pay in "New salary".
Add "Inflation over the year (optional)" to see the real raise.
Read the "Hike" percentage and "Real raise after inflation" in the result.
An increment letter, an appraisal or a new offer usually states a percentage, while the question that matters is what the monthly pay becomes. This calculator works both ways: enter the current salary and the hike to see the new salary, or enter the old and new salary to see the hike. Monthly and annual figures appear together, whichever you type in.
The formulas. The new salary is the old salary times (1 + hike ÷ 100). The hike percentage is (new − old) ÷ old × 100. Monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12. Moving from ₹50,000 to ₹57,500 a month is a 15% hike, or ₹90,000 more a year.
The real raise. A raise is worth what it buys. If prices rose 5% over the year, a 10% hike is a real raise of 4.76%, not 5%: the exact figure is (1.10 ÷ 1.05) − 1. The calculator also shows the new salary in today's money and whether the raise beats inflation at all; a 3% hike in a 6% inflation year is a real pay cut. Inflation is left at 0 until you enter it. For India, the latest consumer price inflation is published monthly by the Ministry of Statistics (mospi.gov.in); elsewhere, use your national statistics office.

Multiply your current salary by the hike percentage and divide by 100 to get the increase, then add it to the old salary. A 10% increment on ₹6,00,000 is ₹60,000, so the new salary is ₹6,60,000 a year, or ₹55,000 a month. The calculator does both steps and shows monthly and annual figures.
Subtract the old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. Going from ₹50,000 to ₹57,500 a month gives 7,500 ÷ 50,000 × 100, which is a 15% hike. Use the same period for both figures: two monthly salaries or two annual ones.
A real increase is the rise in what your pay can buy. Divide one plus the hike by one plus inflation and subtract one. A 10% hike with 5% inflation is a real raise of 4.76%. When the hike is lower than inflation, the real raise is negative and the salary buys less than before.
No. Every figure is gross, before income tax and other deductions. A raise that moves income into a higher slab loses a larger share to tax. For take-home pay from an Indian CTC, put the new annual figure into the Salary Calculator, which applies both tax regimes.
