Pay raise calculator

Calculate raise amount, new pay, and monthly increase.

What this calculator covers

Calculate how much a raise adds to current annual pay and what the new annual total becomes.

The walkthrough keeps the percentage and dollar math visible so the raise impact is easy to audit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a raise amount from a percentage?
Multiply your current annual pay by the raise percentage expressed as a decimal. For example, a 5% raise on $60,000 is $60,000 × 0.05 = $3,000, bringing the new annual total to $63,000.
What is the monthly equivalent of an annual raise?
Divide the annual raise amount by 12. This helps you compare the raise against monthly expenses or savings targets. The monthly increase is shown alongside the annual figures in the results.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No. The result shows the gross change in annual pay before any income taxes or payroll deductions. Your actual take-home increase will be smaller once withholding is applied.
Can I use this for hourly workers?
The tool is designed around annual pay. For hourly workers, you would typically calculate the new hourly rate by applying the raise percentage to the current rate, then use an hourly-to-annual converter to see the yearly impact.
