A salary hike often called a salary increment—is an increase in your current compensation expressed as a percentage. Organisations grant salary hikes during annual appraisals, promotions, market corrections, or as retention adjustments. Knowing how to calculate a hike accurately helps you negotiate better and plan your finances confidently.

This gives the increment amount.Add the increment to your current salaryThis becomes your new net salary.

Salary Hike Calculation Formula

New Salary = Current Salary + (Current Salary × Hike Percentage / 100)

Example: How to Calculate a 30% Salary Hike?

Let’s assume:

  • Current Salary = ₹20,000
  • Hike = 30%
  1. Step 1: 30% = 30/100 = 0.30
  2. Step 2: Increment = ₹20,000 × 0.30 = ₹6,000
  3. Step 3: New Salary = ₹20,000 + ₹6,000 = ₹26,000

How to Calculate Salary Hike Percentage?

If you already know your new salary, calculate the hike percentage as follows:

Step-by-step % hike calculation

  1. Subtract old salary from new salary.
  2. Divide the difference by the old salary.
  3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.

Example

  • Old salary: ₹20,000
  • New salary: ₹25,000

Difference = ₹5,000

Percentage = (5,000 ÷ 20,000) × 100 = 25% hike

Example: Calculating a 40% Salary Increase

  • Current Salary: ₹50,000
  • 40% Increase: ₹50,000 × 0.40 = ₹20,000
  • New Salary: ₹50,000 + ₹20,000 = ₹70,000

How the Salary Calculator Works – Example

Assume CTC = ₹5,00,000 and annual bonus = ₹50,000.

Gross Salary = CTC − Bonus
Gross Salary = ₹5,00,000 − ₹50,000 = ₹4,50,000

Deductions may include:

  • Professional tax: ₹2,400
