Pay Raise Calculator
See what a raise is worth per month and per hour — and whether it is actually a raise once inflation is taken out.
Every figure below is labelled in the currency you pick. Amounts are not converted — enter values in the same currency.
The number your employer does not quote
A 4% raise during 3% inflation is a 0.97% real increase, not 4%. Over a career, the difference between tracking inflation and beating it by two points a year is the difference between standing still and doubling your purchasing power. Always convert the offer into real terms before deciding how you feel about it.
How to use the Pay Raise Calculator
- Fill in each field with your own figures — the defaults are only there as an example.
- The result updates as you type, so there is no button to press.
- Check the breakdown under the main result for the supporting numbers.
- Use the copy button to take the result with you, or share the link to reload the same inputs.
