What our salary increment calculator does and who it’s for
Get immediate clarity on a prospective raise and the exact numbers behind it.
We built this tool to serve employees across Malaysia who need quick, accurate figures during performance reviews, promotions, or when weighing a job offer. Enter your current salary once and the tool will normalize hourly, weekly, monthly, or annual pay so you don’t waste time on conversions.
Who benefits: staff comparing a counteroffer, professionals forecasting an annual hike, and anyone preparing a CTC discussion with HR. Common reasons for adjustments include performance, promotions, market shifts, inflation, or legal wage changes.
Key outputs show up instantly: the new salary, the raise amount, and the exact raise percentage. You can start with a hike percentage, a fixed amount, or a target new pay and the rest is computed for you.
We emphasise accuracy to reduce manual errors and make clearer compensation decisions about pay, tax, benefits, and long‑term financial planning. For help setting inputs or interpreting results, WhatsApp us at +6019-3156508.
How to use the salary increment calculator step by step
Enter basic pay details and one variable; our tool fills in the rest so you can plan confidently.
Begin by selecting your pay period — hourly, monthly, or annual — and enter your current salary. If you work hourly, include hours per week (40 is the default). We convert values across periods so you don’t do extra math.
Enter current pay and working hours
Step 1: Input your present pay and weekly hours. This normalizes wage values for accurate comparisons.
Input one variable
Step 2: Provide either a raise percentage, a raise amount, or your target new salary. We then compute all other figures automatically.
Read the results
Step 3: View the updated pay, the increase percentage, and the exact difference at a glance. We use new = old + old × percentage and percentage = (new − old)/old × 100%.
“Small inputs, clear outputs — use scenarios to back your CTC conversations and review talks.”
We also show a gross view so you can later factor in taxes and statutory deductions for a net estimate. Save scenarios, try different hike percentage values, and prepare figures before reviews.
| Input you give | What we compute | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Raise percentage | New pay, raise amount, percentage validated | Estimate future pay from expected hike |
| Raise amount | New pay, equivalent percentage, period conversions | Assess offers quoting a fixed increase |
| Target new pay | Required percentage, raise amount, difference | Negotiate toward a desired CTC |
| Hourly + hours | Monthly/annual normalization, all outputs | Shift between hourly and salaried comparisons |

Manual methods to calculate a raise without a tool
You can quickly work out a raise by following a few clear arithmetic steps.
Formula to find a new salary from a known raise percentage
Convert the hike percentage to a decimal (for example, 30% = 0.30). Multiply that by your current salary to get the increase amount. Add the amount to the base to find the updated pay.
Formula to find the raise percentage from current and new salary
Subtract the old pay from the new pay. Divide that difference by the old pay. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage increase.
Quick multipliers for common hikes
- 5% → multiply by 1.05
- 10% → multiply by 1.10
- 20% → multiply by 1.20
- 30% → multiply by 1.30
- 40% → multiply by 1.40
“Keep these multipliers handy during reviews so you can turn a quoted hike percentage into a clear amount instantly.”
Practical tip: these formulas work for monthly, annual, or hourly pay and for CTC or base pay. Use them to estimate the new salary or to calculate hike percentage when you know the new total.
| Task | Steps | Quick check |
|---|---|---|
| Find new pay | Decimal = percentage ÷ 100; increase = base × decimal; new = base + increase | Use multiplier for speed (e.g., ×1.30) |
| Find percentage | Difference = new − old; percentage = (difference ÷ old) × 100 | Round carefully; confirm with a calculator |
| Mental checks | Apply multipliers and compare totals | Verify CTC versus take‑home for real value |
Examples: from percentage to new pay and vice versa
We offer short worked examples so you can see the maths and make better decisions.
Calculating a 30% hike on current CTC
Convert 30% to 0.30. Multiply a base of 20,000 by 0.30 to get the increase amount: 6,000.
Add that to the base to find the new salary: 20,000 + 6,000 = 26,000.
Working out a 40% increase
Take 50,000 × 0.40 = 20,000. Add the amount to get the updated pay: 70,000.
Find the percentage from two totals
Use the formula: percentage = (new − old)/old × 100%. This gives the exact raise percentage when you know the new salary and the current salary.
Comparing a counteroffer versus a new job offer
A 10% counteroffer lifts 35,000 to 38,500. A competing job at 50,000 may be preferable after we weigh role, growth, and benefits.
- We recommend testing several CTC scenarios and validating results in the salary hike calculator before negotiating.
- Keep records of each example to support follow‑up talks with HR or recruiters.
| Example | Base | Increase | New total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30% hike | 20,000 | 6,000 | 26,000 |
| 40% hike | 50,000 | 20,000 | 70,000 |
| 10% counteroffer vs job | 35,000 | 3,500 (counter) | 38,500 vs 50,000 |
Why a salary hike calculator matters for planning and decisions
When appraisals pile up, having reliable figures at hand prevents guesswork and repeated spreadsheets.
Accuracy and time savings during appraisals and reviews
We rely on instant, accurate outputs to reduce manual errors and avoid rework during busy review windows. A fast tool converts a hike percentage into a clear increase and shows the new salary at once.
Budgeting, tax awareness, and financial planning considerations
Knowing the gross change helps with tax and net planning. We use outputs to model monthly budgets, contributions, and targets for short‑term savings or long‑term financial planning.
CTC versus take‑home: understanding impact in Malaysia
In Malaysia, CTC can include allowances and benefits that affect real pay. The calculator clarifies how a raise or adjustment translates into net income and daily cost‑of‑living impact.
“Accurate numbers make reviews faster, discussions fairer, and decisions clearer.”
For teams that want integrated workflows, consider linking outputs to payroll systems or try our software for scenario planning during appraisals.
salary increment calculator
A reliable result begins with one clear variable and consistent pay‑period settings.
We recommend these best practices to avoid errors and get dependable results. Start by double‑checking your current salary and weekly hours so hourly, monthly, and annual views convert correctly.
Key steps:
- Enter only one variable — a raise percentage, a fixed amount, or a target new salary — so the tool computes the rest without conflicts.
- Use the core formula (new = old + old × percentage) and the reverse formula (percentage = (new − old)/old × 100%) to sanity‑check outputs.
- Try quick multipliers (1.05, 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40) for fast estimates, then confirm in the interface to avoid rounding drift.
Label scenarios (for example, “10% offer” or “counteroffer 12%”) and save screenshots. Test CTC and base‑only cases separately to see the impact on benefits, tax, and net pay. Keep notes on inflation or role changes so your assumptions stay clear.
“Confirm inputs, run the scenario once, and then use the formula to verify the amount before you present figures to HR.”

FAQ
What does the pay raise estimator do and who should use it?
We built this tool to help employees and HR teams in Malaysia quickly estimate new take-home and cost-to-company figures after a raise. It suits professionals negotiating offers, managers planning budgets, and anyone who wants a clear view of how a change in pay affects monthly income and yearly compensation.
Which inputs do we need to get accurate results?
Enter your current pay — hourly, monthly, or annual — plus your typical working hours if relevant. Then provide one variable: the raise percentage, the raise amount, or your target new pay. The tool fills the remaining values and shows the increase in currency and percentage.
What outputs will the tool show?
We display the updated pay, the absolute increase, and the percentage change. Where applicable, we also clarify gross versus take-home figures and provide quick multipliers for common hikes like 5%, 10%, 20%, and 40% to support fast comparisons.
Can we use the estimator for hourly wages and shift work?
Yes. When you provide hourly rates and average weekly hours, we annualize the numbers to compute total earnings and then present monthly and yearly equivalents so you can compare raises across different pay structures.
How do we calculate a new amount manually from a known raise percentage?
Multiply the current amount by (1 + raise percentage as a decimal). For example, a 20% increase means multiplying by 1.20. This gives the new gross amount before deductions.
How do we find the raise percentage when we know current and new pay?
Subtract the current amount from the new amount, divide the result by the current amount, and multiply by 100. That yields the percentage increase between the two figures.
Are there reliable shortcuts for common increase levels?
Yes. Use quick multipliers: 1.05 for 5%, 1.10 for 10%, 1.20 for 20%, 1.30 for 30%, and 1.40 for 40%. These let us estimate new pay fast without a calculator.
How should we compare a counteroffer with a new job offer?
Compare total CTC, benefits, bonuses, and take-home pay. Consider long-term factors like promotion paths and job security. We recommend calculating both gross and net differences and factoring in tax and employer contributions before deciding.
What tax and budgeting factors should we consider when planning a raise?
We advise accounting for marginal tax rates, mandatory contributions, and potential loss of benefits. Higher gross pay can move you into a different tax bracket or alter net pay, so include these in financial plans and appraisal discussions.
How does CTC differ from take-home pay in Malaysia?
CTC includes employer contributions, bonuses, and benefits, while take-home is the net amount after taxes and employee deductions. We recommend reviewing pay slips to reconcile both and ensure comparisons reflect true income changes.
What best practices help avoid errors when using the tool?
Use consistent units (monthly vs. annual), double-check input fields, and include bonuses or allowances if they form part of your regular earnings. If unsure, consult HR or a tax advisor for complex cases.
Can we get help if we run into issues or need a walkthrough?
Yes. We offer support via WhatsApp at +6019-3156508 for guidance on inputs, interpreting results, or walking through examples tailored to Malaysian payroll rules.
