Calculate your new salary after a percentage hike, or find the hike percentage between two salary figures.
New Salary = Current Salary × (1 + Hike % ÷ 100)
If you enter a new salary directly instead, the calculator works backward to show you the effective hike percentage: Hike % = ((New Salary − Current Salary) ÷ Current Salary) × 100.
This varies widely by industry, role, and economic conditions, but annual increments in India have historically ranged roughly 8-12% for average performers, with higher increases for promotions or job switches, which often range 20-40% or more.
Typically, salary hikes are quoted as a percentage increase on your CTC (Cost to Company), not your in-hand take-home salary. The actual increase in your monthly take-home may be proportionally different depending on how the additional CTC is structured.
Hike % = ((New Salary − Old Salary) / Old Salary) × 100. This calculator handles this calculation for you in either direction — finding the new salary from a hike percentage, or finding the hike percentage between two known salaries.
Usually yes, but the increase in take-home may be smaller than the headline hike percentage if a larger portion of the additional CTC is allocated to components like bonus, ESOPs, or retirement benefits rather than fixed monthly pay.
It's worth clarifying both during a negotiation — ask for the revised in-hand monthly figure in addition to the CTC hike percentage, since the percentage alone doesn't tell you how much extra you'll actually see in your bank account each month.
Whether you've been offered an appraisal hike or are comparing a new job offer against your current pay, this calculator quickly shows you the new salary figure or the effective hike percentage, whichever direction you're working from.
Once you know your new CTC, use our Salary Calculator to estimate how that translates into your actual monthly in-hand pay.
