Salary hike calculator
See your new CTC, the real change in your monthly in-hand pay, and whether the hike you've been offered is fair.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a salary hike percentage?
Hike % = (New CTC − Current CTC) ÷ Current CTC × 100. For example, ₹8L to ₹10L is a 25% hike.
What is a good hike when switching jobs in India?
Typically 20–40% for early-career switches and 15–30% for senior roles. In-demand skills can command more.
Why is my in-hand increase smaller than the hike?
Higher CTC also means more tax and PF. The calculator shows your real monthly in-hand change under the better tax regime.
How do I ask for a higher hike?
Anchor on market data and your impact, ask for a specific number slightly above your target, and be ready to trade on joining bonus or fixed pay.
