Salary Hike Calculator

This tool works two ways: tell it your current salary and a hike percentage, and it shows your new salary and the rupee increase; or tell it your current and offered salary, and it works out the hike percentage between them — the number recruiters usually mean when they ask what hike you're expecting.

The annual/monthly toggle only relabels the numbers above your inputs — the underlying math is identical either way, since a hike percentage doesn't change depending on whether you're comparing annual or monthly figures. What matters is that both numbers you enter are on the same basis; comparing an annual current salary against a monthly offered figure will give you a meaningless result.

In 'new salary after hike' mode, the tool also lays out what 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% hikes would look like on your current salary, which is useful context — in most Indian appraisal cycles, an internal raise tends to land lower than what a company-switch typically brings, though this varies a lot by role, industry and how badly a company wants to retain you.

If the offered salary works out lower than your current one, the tool flags it clearly as a pay cut rather than a hike. Either way, remember hikes are usually negotiated on fixed CTC — bonuses, ESOPs and other variable components in an offer letter often aren't included in the percentage a recruiter quotes, so confirm what's actually counted before comparing two numbers.
