Salary Hike Calculator

The Salary Hike Calculator answers one question: if a percentage increase is applied to the salary you have today, what is the new figure in rupees? You enter your current salary and the hike percentage, and it returns the revised salary along with the increase amount, so you can see the raise as money rather than as a percentage.

The result is a direct arithmetic output, not a prediction. It tells you what the revised figure will be on the same basis as the number you entered. Enter an annual CTC and you get a revised annual CTC. Enter a monthly fixed salary and you get a revised monthly fixed salary. Mixing the two is the single most common reason a hike estimate looks wrong.

1. Enter your current annual CTC in rupees.
2. Type a hike percentage or tap one of the quick percentage buttons.
3. Read your new CTC, annual increase and monthly equivalents in the result card.
4. Switch to reverse mode if you already know both salaries and want the hike percentage.

New CTC = Current CTC × (1 + Hike % ÷ 100)

Monthly equivalent = Annual CTC ÷ 12

Hike % = ((New CTC − Current CTC) ÷ Current CTC) × 100

Suppose your current CTC is ₹6,00,000 per year (6 LPA) and you receive a 20% hike.

New CTC = ₹6,00,000 × 1.20 = ₹7,20,000 (7.2 LPA). The annual increase is ₹1,20,000, your monthly CTC equivalent moves from ₹50,000 to ₹60,000, and the monthly increase is ₹10,000.

The table below applies common Indian appraisal percentages to four typical annual CTC levels. Every figure is simply CTC × (1 + hike ÷ 100).

Notice how much the base matters. A 30% hike on \u20B95,00,000 adds \u20B91,50,000 a year, while a 10% hike on \u20B915,00,000 adds \u20B91,50,000 as well. The percentage alone never tells you who gained more money.

• Your appraisal letter quotes a percentage and you want the rupee figure immediately.
• A recruiter asks what you expect and you want to quote a number, not a percentage.
• You are checking whether a revised CTC in an offer matches the hike you were promised.
• You want to model several scenarios — 10%, 15%, 20% — before a salary discussion.
• You are budgeting and need the annual increase before deductions.

• What the percentage applies to. A hike on CTC and a hike on fixed pay produce very different rupee amounts when the package contains a large variable component.
• Effective date. A revision effective from July does not pay a full year’s increase in that financial year.
• Variable pay. If part of the increase lands in variable, the guaranteed portion rises by less than the headline number.
• Deductions. PF rises with basic and TDS rises with taxable income, so take-home increases by less than the hike percentage.
• One-time components. Joining or retention bonuses inflate the first year only, and usually carry a clawback.

Indian offers are normally quoted as annual CTC in lakhs per annum, and appraisal letters usually express the revision as a percentage of the existing CTC. Because CTC includes employer provident fund, a gratuity provision, insurance premiums and often variable pay, a percentage applied to CTC never translates into the same percentage increase in your bank credit.

Tax and provident fund rules are set by law and change from time to time. Use this calculator for the gross arithmetic, and verify anything tax-related against current official rules or with a qualified professional.

• The hike is applied to the full annual CTC, not only to a fixed component.
• Monthly figures are simply the annual amount divided by twelve.
• Variable pay and bonuses are treated as part of CTC if you include them in the input.

This tool does not compute income tax, PF, professional tax or take-home salary, and it does not know your employer's salary structure. Treat the output as an estimate for comparison and planning, not as a payslip projection or financial advice.

The formula above is the whole calculation — nothing is hidden, and every figure you enter stays in your browser. Read the calculator methodology for how formulas are chosen, how inputs are validated and how rounding is handled, or report a result that looks wrong.
