Salary Hike Calculator
A hike sounds simple until the offer letter arrives in a different shape from the conversation that produced it. Fifteen percent of ₹10 lakh is easy to mis-state when someone quotes monthly instead of annual, or a mid-year revision blurs the base. This calculator does both directions at once: give it a salary and a hike to get the new package, or give it two packages to read the real percentage between them.

How is the Salary Hike calculated?
Enter your current annual salary and the hike percentage you have been offered — negative values model a cut. The page returns the new annual salary, the increase in rupees and the monthly figure. The third field runs the other way: put in any two salaries and the change line shows the actual percentage move, so you can check a verbal claim like 'around twenty percent' against the numbers.
Formula
New salary = old salary × (1 + hike% ÷ 100). Increase = old salary × hike% ÷ 100. Actual change = (new − old) ÷ old × 100. Every figure is annual; divide by 12 only for a monthly view. The percentage is measured against the old salary, so a raise from ₹8,00,000 to ₹9,60,000 is +20%, while giving that ₹9,60,000 back is only −16.67%.
Example
You earn ₹10,00,000 a year and an offer promises 15%: the new package is 10,00,000 × 1.15 = ₹11,50,000, an increase of ₹1,50,000 — ₹12,500 more each month before deductions. Now flip it: a recruiter says your next role pays ₹13,00,000 against today's ₹10,00,000. Enter both and the change line reads +30%, comfortably more than the 15% your annual review offered.
Things to remember
Percentage moves flatter small salaries and punish large ones, so compare rupees alongside the rate — a 30% jump on ₹6,00,000 adds less cash than 10% on ₹20,00,000. A hike is a gross or CTC change: what lands in your bank still depends on PF, professional tax and tax — the reverse calculator shows that.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my salary hike percentage?
Subtract the old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. Moving from ₹8,00,000 to ₹9,60,000 is 1,60,000 ÷ 8,00,000 × 100 = 20%. Put both figures into the calculator and the change line does exactly this for you.
What is a good hike when switching jobs in India?
In-role revisions commonly run 5–10% a year, while job switches often land between 20% and 40% depending on demand for your skills. Negotiate against the rupee difference and the new in-hand, not the percentage alone — the calculator shows both.
How much in-hand do I get after a 20% hike?
A 20% hike on ₹10,00,000 takes CTC to ₹12,00,000. Under the standard assumptions — 40% basic, PF capped at ₹15,000, ₹200 professional tax, nil new-regime tax — gross falls by employer PF and deductions take ₹24,000, leaving about ₹96,200 a month.
Does a salary hike increase my PF contribution?
Not while PF wages stay under ₹15,000 of basic. A hike usually lifts allowance more than basic, so the ₹1,800 employee contribution often stays put. If basic crosses the ceiling or your offer puts PF on full basic, both sides rise with it.
