Raise Calculator

This raise calculator applies a percentage increase to your current annual salary to project new annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly income figures, making it easy to see exactly how a raise translates into additional take-home pay. The methodology is a simple multiplication: current salary × (1 + raise percentage) = new salary. For context, the calculator also estimates the after-tax value of the raise using a typical marginal tax rate, so you can understand how much of the gross raise actually reaches your pocket. Common use cases include evaluating a job offer with a promised raise percentage, planning for an upcoming annual review, comparing raises across employers, and understanding whether a cost-of-living adjustment (typically 2-4%) keeps pace with inflation. Key limitations include the assumption of a flat marginal tax rate which may over- or under-estimate net raise value depending on your total income and deductions, no accounting for phase-outs of tax credits or deductions that the raise may trigger, no consideration of changes in benefits or retirement matching that often accompany raises, and no adjustment for state or local taxes which vary significantly.
