Tips: Enter your current annual pay in dollars and the increase rate as a percentage (e.g., enter 5 for a 5% raise). Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will display your new annual salary and the exact dollar amount of the increase.
Q1: How do I calculate monthly pay from annual pay?
A: Divide the annual pay by 12. For example, $60,000 annual salary equals $5,000 monthly pay ($60,000 ÷ 12).
Q2: What's considered a good annual pay increase?

Q3: Does this calculator account for taxes and deductions?
A: No, this calculates gross pay only. Net pay (take-home pay) will be lower after taxes, insurance, and other deductions.
Q4: Can I use this for hourly wage increases?
A: Yes, but you'll need to calculate annual pay first (hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks) before using the calculator.
Q5: How often should I expect pay increases?
A: Most companies provide annual reviews with potential raises, but this varies by industry, company policy, and individual performance.
