Estimate only. New CTC = current × (1 + hike%). The approximate in-hand change assumes roughly 80% of the raise reaches your pocket after PF and tax. The projection compounds the same hike each year: current × (1 + hike%)^years. Typical increments vary widely by role, performance and sector — use this as a planning aid, not a benchmark.

How it works

How to calculate a salary increment

A salary increment is the raise applied to your existing pay. To find your new salary from a known hike percentage, multiply the current salary by one plus the percentage as a fraction — for instance, a 12% hike on ₹50,000 gives ₹56,000. Working the other way, if you know your target salary, the percentage increase is the difference over the current salary, times one hundred. You can apply this to either monthly or annual figures, and to CTC or in-hand pay — just be aware that a CTC increase does not translate one-to-one into take-home, because deductions such as PF and income tax also scale with the raise. Typical increments in India vary widely by sector, role, company and individual performance, so treat this as a planning aid for your own numbers rather than a market benchmark.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I calculate my new salary after a hike?

Multiply your current CTC by (1 + hike%/100). For example, a 12% hike on a ₹50,000 monthly CTC gives ₹50,000 × 1.12 = ₹56,000. This tool shows both the new CTC and the increase.

How much does a hike add to my monthly in-hand?

Roughly, the in-hand rise is the CTC increase less the extra deductions it triggers — PF, professional tax and income tax all move with a higher salary — so your take-home delta is usually a little smaller than the headline CTC hike.

What does my CTC become after several years at the same annual %?

The same percentage compounds year on year: CTC × (1 + hike%/100) raised to the number of years. The N-year projection in this tool applies that compounding so you can see where a steady annual hike lands you.

Is a hike applied on CTC or in-hand salary?

Usually on CTC. Appraisal letters quote the revised CTC, and a CTC hike does not translate to the same in-hand rise because deductions like PF and tax also change with the higher salary.
