Revised Salary = Current Salary * (1 + Hike% / 100) | Absolute Hike = Revised Salary - Current Salary

Calculation Steps

2Enter proposed hike percentage (e.g. 15% for annual appraisal or 30% for job switch).
3Multiply current salary by the percentage increase.
4Add hike amount to current salary to determine revised package.

Practical Example

Scenario: Current CTC of ₹8,00,000 receiving a 25% switch hike

Inputs: Current Salary: ₹8,00,000 | Hike: 25%

Calculation: Hike Amount = 8,00,000 * 0.25 = ₹2,00,000 | Revised Salary = 8,00,000 + 2,00,000 = ₹10,00,000

Result: Revised CTC: ₹10,00,000 (10 LPA) | Monthly Gain: ₹16,667

Assumptions & Disclaimers

Key Assumptions:

Hike percentage applies uniformly to total fixed CTC.
Variable pay structures remain proportionately identical unless renegotiated.

Net in-hand increment may be lower due to higher income tax tax slab brackets on the incremental amount.
