HOW IT WORKS
The formula used
Two forms of the same relationship, depending on which figure you are solving for.
Current salary × (1 + hike% ÷ 100)((New − current) ÷ current) × 100(Revised − current) ÷ 12UNDERSTANDING IT
About the salary hike calculator
Increment conversations happen in percentages, but budgets are lived monthly. A 15% hike on a ₹9,00,000 package sounds substantial, and it is — but the monthly difference before tax is what will actually be noticed.
It is also worth separating a hike on fixed pay from a hike on total package. An increment that raises variable pay without raising fixed pay changes the headline CTC without changing guaranteed monthly income.
When comparing an internal increment against an external offer, compare like with like: fixed against fixed, and ideally in-hand against in-hand rather than CTC against CTC.
Worked example
Take a current CTC of ₹9,00,000 with a 15% hike.
The increase is ₹1,35,000 a year, taking the revised package to ₹10,35,000. Spread across twelve months that is ₹11,250 more per month before tax. After income tax and the higher provident fund that follows a higher basic, the actual in-hand increase will be smaller.
WHY IT HELPS
What this calculator is good for
Translate percentages into money
See the annual and monthly rupee difference rather than an abstract percentage.
Compare offers against increments
Check whether an external offer genuinely beats an internal increment once both are on the same basis.
Plan the negotiation
Work backwards from a target package to the percentage you need to ask for.
WATCH OUT
Common mistakes
These are the errors that most often produce a wrong number.
Comparing a hike on fixed pay against a hike on total package including variable.
Forgetting that a higher package moves you into a higher tax bracket, so in-hand rises by less than the gross increase.
Treating a one-off retention bonus as equivalent to a permanent increment.
Ignoring the compounding effect — future increments are computed on the revised base.
HR TIPS
Practical guidance
Negotiate on fixed pay
Fixed pay compounds into every future increment. Variable pay resets each year.
Ask for the revised structure
Confirm how the increase is distributed across basic and allowances, since that drives take-home.
Check the effective date
A revision effective from an earlier month generates arrears, which arrive as a one-time payment.
QUESTIONS
Salary Hike Calculator — frequently asked
Subtract your current salary from the new salary, divide the result by the current salary, and multiply by 100. A move from ₹8,00,000 to ₹9,20,000 is a 15% hike.
Annual increments commonly fall in the high single digits to low double digits, while a hike on changing employer is typically larger. The right benchmark depends on role, sector and performance rather than a single national figure.
No. A higher package usually means higher income tax and, where basic rises, a higher provident fund contribution. In-hand therefore increases by less than the percentage applied to CTC.
If an increment is effective from a month that has already been paid, the difference for those months is paid as arrears, usually in a single cycle alongside regular salary.
