What is an increment calculator and why it matters in Malaysia
Enter your current pay and a raise percent to see exactly how your take-home and CTC change.
A salary hike calculator is a simple tool that applies a clear formula: new salary = old salary + old salary × raise %. It also shows the hike percentage as (new − current) / current × 100, and the ringgit amount your pay rises by.
In Malaysia, CTC, allowances, and rising inflation make this essential. Employees use it to budget, prepare for negotiations, and compare offers. Companies and HR teams use the same tool to plan payroll and align compensation with market growth.
“Speed, accuracy, and transparency reduce errors during appraisals and help everyone discuss pay with data.”
- Benefits: quick results, clear comparisons, fewer misunderstandings.
- See how the same percentage affects take-home vs CTC.
- Useful for fresh grads, mid-career staff, and HR planners.

How to use our increment calculator step by step
Follow these clear steps to turn your current pay and a chosen hike percentage into a precise new salary figure.
Inputs you’ll need
Gather three simple numbers: your current salary, the hike percentage you expect, or a quoted new salary.
Simple steps
- Enter your current salary (base pay) or the target new salary.
- Type the hike percentage as a plain number (for example, 10 means 10%).
- The tool will show the increment amount in MYR, the new salary, and the hike percentage.
Worked example
With a current salary of MYR 5,000 and a 10% hike, convert 10% to 0.10, then multiply: 5,000 × 0.10 = MYR 500.
Add that amount to your pay: 5,000 + 500 = MYR 5,500 as the new salary.
| Input | Value | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current salary | MYR 5,000 | — | MYR 5,000 |
| Hike percentage | 10% | 5,000 × 0.10 | MYR 500 (amount) |
| New salary | — | 5,000 + 500 | MYR 5,500 |
| Hike percent computed | — | (5,500 − 5,000) / 5,000 × 100 | 10% |
Try different scenarios (8%, 10%, 12%) to compare outcomes. You can also enter a quoted new salary and the tool will reverse-compute the hike percent for you.

Salary hike formula and manual calculations you can trust
We give you clear, repeatable math so you can check any offer before a review or negotiation.
Core formulas
New salary = old salary + old salary × raise %. This simple formula turns a percentage into an actual pay increase.
Percentage increase formula
Percentage increase = (New Salary − Current Salary) / Current Salary × 100. Use this when an employer quotes a final figure and you want the hike percentage.
Quick multipliers for mental math
- 10% = ×1.10
- 15% = ×1.15
- 20% = ×1.20
- 25% = ×1.25
- 30% = ×1.30 (example: 20,000 × 0.30 = 6,000; new salary = 26,000)
“Use the formula twice: once to check the new salary and once to compute the percentage increase. It prevents rounding mistakes.”
We recommend saving your steps and verifying with our hike calculator or increase calculator if you want a quick cross-check. Please contact us for free consultancy and we will double-check your math for meetings.
Plan your new salary in Malaysia: scenarios, CTC, and performance raises
See how each type of raise affects your monthly take-home and long-term savings in Malaysia.
CTC vs take-home: using the calculator for realistic planning
We help you compare CTC and take-home by modeling base pay, allowances, and taxes. This shows realistic effects on your bank balance.
Use scenarios to check how a new salary or CTC change alters savings, emergency funds, and investment plans amid rising inflation.
Performance, promotion, market adjustment, and annual appraisal hikes
Types of hikes include performance-based rewards, promotions, market adjustments, annual appraisals, and retention offers.
- Employers use tools to plan payroll and fair compensation policies.
- Employees test scenarios to see CTC impact and monthly take-home.
- Model multiple outcomes to align a raise request with documented results.
| Hike type | Typical trigger | CTC vs take-home |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Targets met or exceeded | Often base pay increase; clear take-home rise |
| Promotion | New role, more duties | Higher base and benefits; larger CTC jump |
| Market adjustment | Company benchmarking | CTC reset to market rates; mixed take-home change |
| Retention/Counteroffer | Talent risk | Short-term CTC boost; varies by bonus structure |
We recommend testing different percentages to measure true growth in take-home and to protect purchasing power against inflation.

Pro tips to calculate salary increase and compare offers
A quick set of checks helps you judge any job offer and the real value of a raise. We show practical steps that reduce mistakes and make comparisons fast.
Avoid manual errors
Convert percentage to a decimal before you run the math. For example, 12% = 0.12. Multiply that by your current salary to get the raise amount, then add it to find the new salary.
Tip: To reverse-calc hike percentage, subtract old from new, divide by old, then multiply by 100. Sanity-check each number you type; a misplaced zero or decimal changes the result.
Compare multiple raise scenarios
Run at least three scenarios per job offer so you see how small shifts in percentage affect total pay over time. Use the same base pay and benefits in each run for fair comparison.
Factor in inflation and payroll timing
Consider how inflation erodes pay and how payroll cycles affect take-home money. A raise that arrives late in the year may have less effect on annual savings and bonus targets.
“Small, consistent checks let us focus on the real growth a raise delivers, not just the headline figure.”
- Always convert the percentage to a decimal before calculations (e.g., 12% → 0.12).
- Run three scenarios per job offer to gauge long-term pay growth.
- Consider inflation and payroll cycles; timing affects real purchasing power.
- Keep consistent numbers across scenarios so comparisons are fair.
- Back-solve the hike percentage from a quoted offer to verify its market fit.
- Record your calculations to keep negotiations fact-based.
- Note any probation or review timelines that may unlock further growth.
| Action | Why it matters | Quick example |
|---|---|---|
| Convert % to decimal | Prevents math errors | 12% → 0.12; 5,000 × 0.12 = 600 |
| Run multiple scenarios | Shows long-term pay growth | 8%, 10%, 12% on same base for fair view |
| Account for inflation | Shows real purchasing power | 5% raise vs 3% inflation = 2% real growth |
| Back-solve hike | Verifies quoted offers | (New−Old)/Old ×100 = actual percentage |

How do we use the tool — what inputs are required?
Simply enter your current salary and either the hike percentage or the new salary. The tool returns the raise amount, the revised pay, and the hike percentage so you can evaluate offers and plan budgets.
Can you show a worked example for a 10% raise on MYR 5,000?
