Salary Increase Calculator
A raise changes more than your annual salary. Use this salary increase calculator to convert your current pay—hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or yearly—into every common pay period after a percent raise or a dollar increase. Enter hours per week when you are paid hourly. Results show new yearly, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and hourly gross pay plus the dollar and percent change. Figures are estimates only; taxes, benefits, and overtime are not included.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator show net pay or gross pay?
Gross pay only. It does not subtract taxes, retirement contributions, health insurance, or other deductions. Use the results as a before-tax estimate of the raise itself.
How should I enter hours per week?
If you are paid hourly, hours per week are required to annualize your rate. For salaried pay, leave the default of 40 if you still want an hourly equivalent; the hourly figure is yearly pay divided by 52 weeks, then by hours per week.
How is biweekly pay calculated?
There are 26 biweekly periods in a year. Yearly gross is divided by 26 for biweekly pay, by 52 for weekly pay, and by 12 for monthly pay. This matches common U.S. payroll calendars, not a 365-day daily rate.
Should I use a percent raise or a dollar amount?
Use percent when the offer is “5% more.” Use a dollar amount when the raise is a specific bump in the same pay period as your current pay—for example $2 per hour, $50 per week, or $5,000 per year.
Are overtime, bonuses, or commissions included?
No. Enter your regular base pay only. Overtime premiums, shift differentials, bonuses, and commissions are excluded so the raise math stays transparent.
Why might this differ from my paycheck?
Employers may use slightly different hour assumptions, paid time off, or semi-monthly (24) instead of biweekly (26) schedules. Always confirm the new rate with HR or your offer letter.
