Calculate a pay rise or salary increase: the new salary, the yearly increase, and the monthly increase.

How the formula works

Increase = current salary × rise ÷ 100. New salary = current salary + increase. Monthly increase = increase ÷ 12.

What the number means

A 4% rise on £45,000 is £1,800 a year, which is £150 of the monthly salary if pay is spread over 12 months. The percentage is of the current salary, not of the band midpoint. Two people on different salaries who both receive 4% do not receive the same amount.

Worked examples

A 4% rise

£45,000 × 0.04 = £1,800. New salary 45,000 + 1,800. Monthly increase 1,800 ÷ 12.

£46,800. The rise is £1,800 a year, £150 a month.

A 10% rise on a lower salary

£32,000 × 0.10.

£3,200 a year, to £35,200

Questions

Is a pay rise the same as a salary increase?

On this page, yes. Enter the percentage the person will receive. The calculator returns the new salary and the extra amount.

How do I check a rise against the pay band?

Take the new salary into the compa-ratio calculator with the band midpoint. A rise can still leave someone under the middle of the band, or push them over the maximum.

What does a 4% rise cost for a whole team?

Use the salary increase cost calculator. Multiplying one person’s rise by the headcount is only right when everyone earns the same and everyone receives the same percentage.
