How the Salary Hike Calculator Works

Hike % = (new CTC − current CTC) ÷ current CTC × 100

A salary hike calculator measures the percentage jump between your current package and an offer or appraisal outcome, so you can judge it against inflation and the market. Mathematically, the engine applies Hike % = (new CTC − current CTC) ÷ current CTC × 100. An offer raising annual cost-to-company from 8.5L to 9.6L is (9.6 − 8.5) ÷ 8.5 = 12.9% — but a 5,000 jump in a variable-pay component is worth less than the same in fixed basic.
