Salary hike formulas

New salary = Previous salary × (1 + Hike % ÷ 100)
Hike % = (New salary − Previous salary) ÷ Previous salary × 100
Previous salary = New salary ÷ (1 + Hike % ÷ 100)

Example: ₹6,00,000 with a 10% hike becomes 6,00,000 × 1.10 = ₹6,60,000, an increase of ₹60,000 a year or ₹5,000 a month.

Is the hike on CTC or on in-hand salary?

Companies usually state the hike on CTC (cost to company). Your in-hand salary rises by a little less, because PF and tax also go up.

How do I work out the hike when changing jobs?

Enter your current CTC as the previous salary and the offer as the new salary. The hike % box fills in by itself.

Can I enter a pay cut?

Yes. Type a negative hike, such as −10, or a new salary lower than the old one.

Is a 10% hike enough?

Compare it with inflation. If prices rise 5–6% a year, a 10% hike is a real rise of about 4%. See the inflation calculator.
