💡 How to Calculate a Pay Raise
By Percentage
New Salary = Current Salary × (1 + Raise % / 100)
Example: $60,000 × 1.05 = $63,000 (5% raise)
By Dollar Amount
New Salary = Current Salary + Dollar Raise Amount
Implied Percentage = (Dollar Amount / Current Salary) × 100
Tips for Negotiating a Raise
Research market salaries using sites like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, or Levels.fyi
Document your achievements and impact with concrete numbers
Ask for 10–20% above what you expect to land in your target range
Schedule the conversation after a win, not before performance review
Consider total compensation: benefits, remote work, equity, PTO
💡 Cost of Living Adjustment
A raise below the inflation rate (~3% in 2026) is effectively a pay cut in real terms. Aim for at least an inflation-matching raise each year to maintain your purchasing power.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my new salary after a raise? +
Multiply your current salary by (1 + raise percentage / 100). For a $60,000 salary with a 5% raise: $60,000 × 1.05 = $63,000.
What is a good raise percentage in 2026? +
A typical annual raise is 3–5%. High performers can expect 6–10%. Promotions often come with 10–20% salary increases. Raises below 3% effectively reduce purchasing power due to inflation.
Does a pay raise affect my taxes? +
Yes, but only the income above a tax bracket threshold is taxed at the higher rate. Your take-home pay still increases after a raise. Use a paycheck calculator to see the net impact.
How do I calculate my raise percentage from two salaries? +
Divide the increase by the old salary and multiply by 100. Example: from $50,000 to $53,000 → ($3,000 / $50,000) × 100 = 6% raise.
