Salary Hike Calculator

Enter your current annual CTC and the percentage increase you have been offered, and the calculator returns your new annual CTC, the rupee value of the hike and your new monthly figure. It is the arithmetic behind every appraisal conversation, done in one step so you can compare offers, check an increment letter, or work out what a percentage actually means in take-home terms.

Hike amount = current CTC × hike percentage ÷ 100. New CTC = current CTC + hike amount. New monthly = new CTC ÷ 12. The calculator works on CTC, the total annual cost to the company, so the monthly figure is gross, before tax, PF and other deductions. If your offer quotes a fixed rupee increase instead of a percentage, divide it by your current CTC and multiply by 100 to get the percentage to enter.

Current CTC ₹12,00,000 with a 12% hike. Hike amount = ₹12,00,000 × 0.12 = ₹1,44,000. New CTC = ₹13,44,000. New monthly gross = ₹1,12,000. If a competing offer is ₹14,00,000, the difference of ₹56,000 a year is about ₹4,667 a month before tax, which is the number to weigh against commute, growth and stability.

Anchor on a percentage, then translate it. A 10% hike on ₹8,00,000 is ₹80,000; on ₹20,00,000 it is ₹2,00,000. When an employer quotes a percentage, run it here to see the rupee figure, then compare it with the market rate for your role rather than with your current salary. Ask whether the increase applies to fixed pay only or to the full CTC including variable pay, since the same percentage on a smaller base is a smaller raise.

Comparing CTC with in-hand salary: CTC includes employer PF, gratuity provision and sometimes insurance, so two CTCs with different structures give different take-home. Confusing a retention bonus with a hike: a one-time payment does not compound into next year's base. Ignoring the variable component: a hike applied to fixed pay only will be smaller than the headline percentage suggests.
