See your raise in numbers — and project your 5-year growth.
Calculate your hike %, new CTC and visualize your salary growth over the next 5 years using your expected yearly increment.
A salary hike is the percentage increase in your compensation, applied during annual appraisals, on promotion, or when you switch jobs. Knowing your hike % helps you benchmark offers and negotiate confidently. A hike does not always mean a higher take-home — slab changes, restructuring of variable pay and changes in PF can move the net number.
The standard increment formula is:
Hike % = ((New CTC − Old CTC) / Old CTC) × 100
Most companies announce hikes on fixed CTC. Bonus/variable pay is usually quoted separately and is performance-linked. Always look at fixed + variable + benefits + ESOPs together when you compare offers.
