Formula and method

At 40 hours a week, increasing hourly pay from 25 to 27.50 is a 10% raise. The modeled annual amount rises from 52,000 to 57,200, a difference of 5,200.

New hourly pay = current hourly pay × (1 + change percentage ÷ 100); annual pay = hourly pay × weekly hours × 52

Assumptions and limitations

  • The annual model has exactly 52 working weeks. Monthly amounts are annual amounts divided by twelve; they are averages rather than a calendar payroll schedule. No taxes, benefits, bonuses, unpaid leave or overtime premiums are inferred.
  • Weekly working hours and the current hourly pay must be positive. A pay cut is a negative percentage; new pay cannot be negative. A −100% change gives zero new pay. Keep the same working schedule when comparing the two rates.
  • Use a consistent currency when comparing amounts. Optional currency conversions use captured reference factors, not live exchange rates, bank quotes or fees.

Common questions

Can I calculate the raise from two salaries?

Yes. Enter the current and new annual pay on the same weekly-hours basis. The change percentage uses current pay as its denominator.

Does a 10% raise mean 10% more take-home pay?

This model compares gross pay. Deductions and tax calculations can change take-home pay by a different percentage.

References

Bookify requires positive current pay and weekly hours, rejects negative new pay, and caps a pay reduction at 100% while permitting zero new pay.
