Questions people ask
How do you calculate a salary hike percentage or a new salary?
Choose whether you know the hike or the offer, and whether your figures are yearly (CTC) or monthly. Enter your current salary with the hike percentage or the new salary. The tool shows the new salary per year and per month, the hike percentage and the extra you'll earn in a year. ₹6 lakh to ₹7.2 lakh is a 20% hike.
- 2 ways Hike % or offer. Either direction.
- 20% ₹6L to ₹7.2L. Worked example.

How is the hike percentage calculated?
Subtract the old salary from the new salary, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. Going from ₹6,00,000 to ₹7,20,000 is a ₹1,20,000 rise, which is a 20% hike. Choose 'Hike % from an offer' and the tool works it out, with the monthly figures alongside.
Will my take-home pay rise by the same percentage?
Usually by less. A higher salary can push part of your income into a higher tax slab, and PF, professional tax and other deductions change too. Run both salaries through the income tax calculator to see the in-hand difference, which is the amount that matters for your budget.
Should I compare CTC or in-hand salary?
Compare the same thing on both sides. CTC includes employer PF, gratuity and sometimes insurance, bonus or other benefits that you don't receive every month. Ask for a full salary breakup with any offer, and compare monthly in-hand pay as well as yearly CTC. In-hand pay is what reaches your bank account.
How do I find my new salary from a hike percentage?
Choose 'New salary from a hike %', enter your current salary and the hike. A 12% hike on ₹50,000 a month gives ₹56,000, or ₹6,72,000 a year. The tool shows both the monthly and yearly figures and how much more you'll earn over the full year.
What is a good salary hike in India?
Annual appraisal hikes in many Indian companies fall roughly between 7% and 12%, with higher figures for strong performers and in-demand skills. Job switches often bring larger jumps, sometimes 20 to 40%. Compare with your industry and role rather than a single national number. Salary surveys for your field give a better benchmark.
Does the hike beat inflation?
Subtract the inflation rate from your hike to see your real rise. A 6% hike with 5% inflation is only about a 1% real increase in buying power. If your hike is below inflation, your salary buys less than last year, even though the number went up.
How do I negotiate using the hike percentage?
Know your current CTC and the in-hand amount, then work out what hike an offer represents. If a new job offers ₹9 lakh against your ₹7.5 lakh, that's 20%. Use the figure to explain your expectation calmly, and ask about joining bonus, variable pay and notice buyout too.
What if my salary is cut?
Enter the lower figure as the new salary and the tool shows a negative hike, such as minus 10%. It won't accept a cut of 100% or more. If you're weighing a lower-paid role for other reasons, compare the in-hand pay to see the real effect on your monthly budget.
Are variable pay and bonus part of the hike?
It depends how your company states it. A hike on fixed pay is guaranteed, while variable pay depends on performance and may not be paid in full. When comparing offers, work out the hike on fixed pay separately so you know what you can count on each month.
Can employers use this to plan raises?
Yes. Enter each person's current salary and proposed hike to see the new salary and the extra yearly cost. Adding these up for the team gives you the total raise budget. Remember that employer PF and other costs also rise with basic pay. Plan these figures before announcing any raises.
How is a monthly hike different from a yearly one?
The percentage is the same either way. A 10% hike on ₹40,000 a month is ₹4,000 more each month and ₹48,000 more a year. Pick monthly or yearly at the top to match the figure you know, and the tool shows the other one alongside it for easy comparison.
Does a promotion count as a hike?
In rupees, yes: a promotion usually comes with a larger hike than a routine appraisal. Enter your old and new salary to see the percentage. A promotion may also change your allowances, bonus percentage or benefits, so ask for the new breakup in writing. Compare the new in-hand amount as well.
Is anything I enter stored?
No. The calculation happens in your browser and your salary never reaches our servers. There's no sign-up and nothing is saved after you close the page. You can check an offer or appraisal privately, with nobody else seeing the figures. Close the tab and your salary figures are gone.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Tap your choices at the top, type the salary with the number keypad and the new salary and hike appear at once. It works in any mobile browser, which is useful when you're reading an offer letter or appraisal email on your phone. No app or account is needed.
