How to Calculate a Percentage Raise
The formula is simple: New Pay = Current Pay × (1 + Percentage / 100). The raise amount itself is Current Pay × (Percentage / 100). This percentage raise calculator does the math instantly for all pay periods.
Common Percentage Raise Examples
| Current Salary | 3% Raise | 5% Raise | 10% Raise | 15% Raise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $41,200 | $42,000 | $44,000 | $46,000 |
| $55,000 | $56,650 | $57,750 | $60,500 | $63,250 |
| $75,000 | $77,250 | $78,750 | $82,500 | $86,250 |
| $100,000 | $103,000 | $105,000 | $110,000 | $115,000 |
Percentage Raise vs. Flat Dollar Raise
A percentage raise scales with your salary — higher earners get larger dollar increases. A flat raise (e.g., $2,000) gives the same dollar amount regardless of current pay. Use the toggle above to compare both approaches with this pay raise calculator percent tool.
