Calculate a pay raise from current salary or hourly pay, with new pay, annual difference, percentage increase and optional bonus comparison.

Formula used

Raise amount = current pay × raise percent ÷ 100. New pay = current pay + raise amount. For hourly pay, annual change = hourly raise amount × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Bonus comparison = one-time bonus ÷ recurring annual raise when the recurring raise is above zero.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Method

Raise amount = current pay × raise percent ÷ 100. New pay = current pay + raise amount. For hourly pay, annual change = hourly raise amount × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Bonus comparison = one-time bonus ÷ recurring annual raise when the recurring raise is above zero.

  1. For a 60,000 salary and a 5% raise, raise amount = 60,000 × 5 ÷ 100 = 3,000. New salary = 60,000 + 3,000 = 63,000. If a 1,000 bonus is also entered, the recurring annual raise is still 3,000 and the bonus equals about 4.0 months of that raise value.

Assumptions

  • Current pay is treated as gross pay before tax, deductions, benefits, pension, superannuation or insurance.
  • Pay type 0 treats current pay as annual salary. Pay type 1 treats current pay as hourly pay and uses the entered weekly hours and paid weeks for annual comparisons.
  • The one-time bonus is shown separately because it is not the same as a recurring salary or hourly-rate increase.
  • This calculator does not decide tax, minimum wage, overtime, pay equity, contract entitlement or legal payroll compliance.

Formula

Raise amount = current pay × raise percent ÷ 100. New pay = current pay + raise amount. For hourly pay, annual change = hourly raise amount × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Bonus comparison = one-time bonus ÷ recurring annual raise when the recurring raise is above zero.

Worked example

For a 60,000 salary and a 5% raise, raise amount = 60,000 × 5 ÷ 100 = 3,000. New salary = 60,000 + 3,000 = 63,000. If a 1,000 bonus is also entered, the recurring annual raise is still 3,000 and the bonus equals about 4.0 months of that raise value.

Professional note

Master’s Tip: keep recurring pay and one-time money separate in the printout. A bonus can help now, but a salary or hourly raise changes every future pay period, overtime basis and percentage increase calculation that depends on the new rate.

Regional and unit assumptions

Standard or basis: transparent gross pay arithmetic. No tax, employment-law, minimum-wage, award, union, overtime or payroll-compliance standard is claimed; use the governing local rule for official decisions.

Methodology & Accuracy

How this calculator is checked

CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Formula used

Raise amount = current pay × raise percent ÷ 100. New pay = current pay + raise amount. For hourly pay, annual change = hourly raise amount × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Bonus comparison = one-time bonus ÷ recurring annual raise when the recurring raise is above zero.

Standard or basis

Standard or basis: transparent gross pay arithmetic. No tax, employment-law, minimum-wage, award, union, overtime or payroll-compliance standard is claimed; use the governing local rule for official decisions.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.

Questions

How do I calculate a pay raise percentage?

Multiply current pay by the raise percentage divided by 100. Add that amount to current pay to get the new pay.

What is a 5% raise on 60,000?

A 5% raise on 60,000 is 3,000, so the new annual salary is 63,000 before deductions.

Can this calculate an hourly raise?

Yes. Set pay type to hourly, enter the current hourly rate, hours per week and paid weeks per year. The calculator shows the new hourly rate plus weekly and annual change.

Is a bonus the same as a raise?

No. A bonus is one-time money. A raise changes the recurring pay rate, so the report keeps bonus and recurring raise values separate.

Does this estimate take-home pay?

No. Results are gross pay arithmetic before tax, payroll deductions, benefits, pension, superannuation, insurance or withholding.

Calculation note

Pay-raise arithmetic is simple, but the practical comparison is often muddied by pay period, hourly versus annual basis and one-time bonuses. A useful raise record keeps the old rate, percentage, new rate and recurring yearly value visible together.

A raise changes the recurring base

A percentage raise is not only this week’s extra money. It changes the salary or hourly rate used in future pay-period, overtime, budget and negotiation comparisons. That is why the report shows both the immediate increase and the annualised effect.

Hourly and salary raises need different denominators

A salary raise can be compared directly as an annual amount. An hourly raise needs hours per week and paid weeks per year before it can be annualised. Keeping those assumptions visible prevents an hourly result from being overstated.

Bonus money should stay separate

A one-time bonus may be valuable, but it does not usually compound into future base pay. The calculator includes it as a separate comparison so a pay-review note does not confuse temporary and recurring compensation.
