How Salary Increases Are Calculated

Salary increases can be calculated as a percentage of current pay or as a fixed dollar amount.

Percentage Raise: New Salary = Current Salary × (1 + Raise% ÷ 100)
Dollar Raise: New Salary = Current Salary + Raise Amount
Monthly Pay = Annual Salary ÷ 12
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (52 weeks × Hours per Week)
After-Tax Increase ≈ Gross Increase × (1 − Effective Tax Rate)

Remember that salary increases push some income into higher tax brackets. The after-tax benefit is typically 70–80% of the gross increase for most earners.
