How the salary raise calculator works
In Advanced mode, fill any one of the “Pay before raise” fields (hourly/weekly/monthly/annual). Set Hours per week (default 40) to convert hourly ↔ salary correctly. Then enter either a percentage raise or a raise amount (in any one frequency). Outputs update live in “Pay after raise.” In Basic mode, enter an annual salary, rate and years to see compounding in a full table.
How to calculate a salary increase using the calculator
- Enter what you know (e.g., annual salary).
- Enter a percentage raise or a raise amount in one row (e.g., Monthly +10,000).
- Review the new hourly/weekly/monthly/annual values.
An example of how to calculate a salary increase
If you earn PKR 1,000/hour at 40 h/wk, type 1,000 in Hourly and 7 in Percentage. You’ll see Hourly 1,070; Weekly 42,800; Monthly ≈ 185,333; Annual ≈ 2,224,000.
How do I calculate a pay raise on my own?
- Raise amount = Base × (Percent ÷ 100)
- New pay = Base + Raise amount
- Conversions: Weekly = Yearly ÷ 52; Monthly = Yearly ÷ 12; Biweekly = Yearly ÷ 26; Semimonthly = Yearly ÷ 24
When can you expect a pay raise
Common moments: annual reviews, promotions, market adjustments, contract renewals, or exceptional performance. Model scenarios in Basic (multi‑year) or Advanced (one‑off change).
Got a bigger paycheck. But can money buy happiness?
Higher income helps to a point, but autonomy, purpose and relationships matter too. Consider total compensation (benefits, flexibility, growth) when evaluating raises.
