Gross salary only

The calculation intentionally excludes tax, retirement deductions, bonuses, allowances, overtime, benefits, exchange-rate changes, and inflation.

Consistent pay frequency

Current and known new salary amounts must use the same selected frequency. The calculator annualises them before comparison.

FrequencyPeriods yearlyConversion
Annual1Salary ÷ 1
Monthly12Annual ÷ 12
Biweekly26Annual ÷ 26
Weekly52Annual ÷ 52
FormulaThe calculator converts the entered salary to an annual amount, applies the raise, and then converts the difference into common pay periods.
New salary
Current salary × (1 + increase % ÷ 100)
Increase amount
New salary − current salary
Increase %
(New − current) ÷ current × 100
Future impact
Annual increase × number of years
Worked example: A $60,000 annual salary with a 7% increase becomes $64,200. The annual difference is $4,200, the monthly difference is $350, and the five-year cumulative difference is $21,000 when the salary remains unchanged.
Tips and common mistakesCorrect frequency and gross-salary inputs matter more than adding unnecessary fields.

Useful tips

  • Use gross salary before taxes and payroll deductions.
  • Confirm when the increase becomes effective.
  • Check whether bonuses and allowances are separate.
  • Compare the annual difference, not only the percentage.
  • Save the report before a salary or offer discussion.
  • Treat the future figures as simple comparisons, not guarantees.

Common mistakes

  • Entering monthly salary while annual frequency is selected.
  • Entering 0.07 instead of 7 for a 7% raise.
  • Mixing gross salary with take-home pay.
  • Assuming a mid-year raise applies for a full year.
  • Including bonuses in only one of the compared salaries.
  • Assuming the five-year total includes future raises.
  • Comparing amounts stated in different currencies.
Frequently asked questionsAnswers about gross pay, frequency conversion, future impact, and differences from an actual payslip.
The result uses gross salary before taxes, payroll deductions, retirement contributions, and benefits.
Yes. Select Monthly and enter the gross monthly amount. The calculator annualises it using 12 periods.
Multiply the current salary by 1.05. The difference between the new and current salary is the increase amount.
No. It measures the cumulative effect of the single increase entered and assumes the revised salary remains unchanged.
Payroll dates, taxes, deductions, unpaid leave, bonuses, allowances, and rounding may change the actual payment.
No. It measures a proposed salary change and does not provide market salary benchmarking or negotiation advice.
Biweekly uses 26 pay periods per year. An employer’s actual payroll calendar can occasionally differ.

Conversion assumptions

  • Biweekly: 26 periods
  • Weekly: 52 periods

Reading note

These are standardised conversions of the annual gross salary. An employer’s payroll calendar, partial periods, bonuses, allowances, deductions, or rounding can produce different payslip amounts.

Scope: Hourly pay, overtime, tax, and take-home pay are intentionally excluded because they require separate assumptions or calculators.

Payroll calendar considerations

  • A mid-period effective date can create a partial first payment.
  • Some years may contain an additional payroll date.
  • Employer rounding can change the final cents shown.
  • Unpaid leave can reduce an actual payslip.

Checks before accepting a figure

  • Confirm that both amounts are gross.
  • Confirm the effective date and pay cycle.
  • Clarify whether allowances are included.
  • Confirm whether bonuses remain separate.
