How to calculate salary hike percentage

Hike % = (New salary − Old salary) ÷ Old salary × 100

Example: your salary moves from ₹40,000 to ₹46,000 a month. Increase = ₹6,000; 6,000 ÷ 40,000 × 100 = 15% hike. Works the same for monthly salary, annual CTC or in-hand pay — just use the same basis for both numbers.

New salary from a hike percentage

New salary = Old salary × (1 + Hike% ÷ 100)

A 12% increment on ₹6,00,000 CTC = 6,00,000 × 1.12 = ₹6,72,000.

What is a good salary hike in India?

Annual increments in most Indian companies are 7–12% for average performers and 15–25% for top ratings. A job switch typically gives 30–60% for 2–5 years' experience. Promotions add another 10–20%. Use the in-hand salary calculator to see what the new CTC means every month.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate hike percentage from old and new salary?

Subtract the old salary from the new one, divide by the old salary and multiply by 100. From ₹25,000 to ₹30,000: 5,000 ÷ 25,000 × 100 = 20%.

How much is a 10% hike on 5 LPA?

10% of ₹5,00,000 is ₹50,000, so the new CTC is ₹5,50,000 — about ₹4,170 more per month before deductions.

Is hike calculated on CTC or in-hand salary?

Companies quote hikes on CTC (or on basic pay in some cases). Your in-hand rises by a slightly different percentage because PF, tax and other deductions change too.
