Calculate a raise in percent or dollars
A 5% raise on a $50,000 annual salary adds $2,500 in gross pay per year. But that does not mean $2,500 more in take-home pay. The difference depends on payroll deductions and income tax withholding.
How much will I actually take home?
Use the sliders and input fields to compare both scenarios. You can set an estimated payroll deduction percentage and a withholding rate based on your own circumstances. The result is a planning estimate, not a prediction of your next payslip.
Tax treatment varies by country
There is no single international tax bracket schedule. A raise may interact with national, state or provincial taxes, allowances and benefits. For a precise estimate, consult the payroll calculator or tax authority in your jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions about this calculator
Does a 5% gross raise mean 5% more take-home pay?
Not necessarily. Payroll deductions and marginal taxes can change the increase you receive after deductions.
How can I compare two job offers with different salaries?
Use the same currency and pay frequency, then check benefits, local taxes and other compensation not included in the simplified estimate.
