How to Calculate a Pay Raise Manually

Even without a percentage calculator, calculating a raise is simple math.

Pay Raise Formula

New Salary = Current Salary × (1 + Raise Percentage ÷ 100)

Or:

Raise Amount = Current Salary × (Raise Percentage ÷ 100)

New Salary = Current Salary + Raise Amount

Sample Calculation

Let’s say you make $50,000 a year and get a 10% raise:

  • Raise Amount = 50,000 × (10 ÷ 100) = $5,000
  • New Salary = 50,000 + 5,000 = $55,000

Gross vs. Net Raise

  • Gross Raise: Before taxes and deductions
  • Net Raise: After taxes (take-home pay)

Always consider tax brackets, benefits, and deductions when evaluating your true income boost.

How Much of a Raise Should You Ask For?

Not all raises are equal. Here’s what to consider:

  • Cost of Living/Inflation: Aim for 3–5% just to keep up
  • Merit-Based Raise: High performers often earn 5–10%
  • Promotion or Role Change: Can be 10–20% or more
  • Industry Benchmarking: Research your role’s average on platforms like Glassdoor or PayScale
