How do I calculate raise percentage?

Raise percentage = ((New salary − Old salary) ÷ Old salary) × 100. A raise from $50,000 to $53,500 is a 7% increase. You can also reverse this: new salary = old salary × (1 + raise%).

About This Calculator

When you receive a new salary offer or a raise, this calculator tells you the exact percentage increase and dollar difference. It's useful for salary negotiations — knowing you're asking for a 7.7% raise sounds more concrete than 'I want $5,000 more.'
