Whether you have been offered a raise or a new job, two quick formulas tell you what it is really worth.
From a percentage
New salary = current salary × (1 + raise %). A 10% raise on 100,000 gives 110,000: 10,000 more a month, 120,000 more a year.
From a new salary
Raise % = (new − current) ÷ current × 100. Going from 100,000 to 115,000 is a 15% raise.
Look beyond the headline
- Tax: part of a raise may go in tax. In Pakistan, the salary tax calculator shows the raise after tax.
- Basic salary in the UAE: gratuity, leave pay and overtime depend on basic, not total pay.
- Inflation: a raise smaller than price rises still leaves you worse off.
