How to Calculate a Salary Raise

To manually calculate a salary raise percentage or flat dollar raise, perform the following steps:

  1. Identify your base salary before the raise.
  2. If raise is a percentage (e.g. 5%), convert it to a decimal: 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05.
  3. Multiply your base salary by that decimal to find the Raise Amount: Base Salary × 0.05 = Raise Amount.
  4. Add the Raise Amount to your current base salary to get your New Salary.

How to Work Out a Salary Raise

Let's look at a practical raise calculation example. Suppose you currently earn an annual salary of $60,000, and you receive a 6.5% raise.

  • Step 1: Current Salary = $60,000
  • Step 2: 6.5% as a decimal = 0.065
  • Step 3: Raise Amount = $60,000 × 0.065 = $3,900
  • Step 4: New Salary = $60,000 + $3,900 = $63,900 per year
