About the Salary Increase Calculator
Before any salary conversation you need three numbers: the opening number you say first, the target you expect to land on, and the minimum you will not go below. This calculator builds them from your current package and the raise you aim for, and gives you a ready answer for the expectations question.
When to use the Salary Increase Calculator?
When you receive an offer or are about to ask for a raise and do not want to enter a negotiation with a single number. The tool turns your current salary and the increase you want into three clear figures.
How to use the Salary Increase Calculator?
- Enter your current base salary and allowances.
- Set the raise you are aiming for and, optionally, your minimum.
- Press “Calculate my range”.
- Use the opening number first, and never reveal your minimum.
How to read the result
You get an opening figure to start with, a target figure to aim for and a minimum at which you walk away, with conversion between monthly and yearly. Use the opening figure when you are asked about your expectations.
Tips for a better result
- Enter your current allowances together with the base salary so you compare totals, not just base pay.
- Decide your minimum before the conversation, not during it.
- Compare the numbers with the ranges of similar jobs using the Salary Range Analyzer.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Asking for one number with no room to negotiate.
- Treating the calculator as a source of market salaries; it plans from your own numbers.
- Comparing a monthly figure with a yearly one without converting, or the other way round.
Note: The tool does not use live market data; its results are built on the numbers you enter.
