New pay after a raise
A pay raise can be expressed two ways. As a percentage: new pay = current × (1 + raise%). A 5% raise on $60,000 brings you to $63,000 — a $3,000 increase. As a fixed amount: your new pay is simply current + raise, and the percentage change is the raise divided by current pay. Knowing both helps you evaluate an offer and compare it to inflation: if your raise is below the inflation rate, your real (inflation-adjusted) pay actually fell.
This calculator works for salary or hourly pay and shows your new pay, the dollar increase, the percentage change, and the monthly increase. Use it to check that a promotion or annual review keeps pace with the cost of living, or to translate a percentage raise into real take-home dollars.
New = Current × (1 + raise%). A 5% raise on $60,000 = $63,000, a $3,000 bump.
New = Current + raise. The % change is raise ÷ current — useful for comparing flat increases.
If your raise is below the inflation rate, your real purchasing power dropped despite a higher number.
