| Promotion | 5,500 | 10% | 6,050 |
| Market adjustment | 3,200 | 7.5% | 3,440 |

How to calculate salary changes step by step with our tool
Start here to turn a percentage or amount into a clear new pay figure for monthly or annual planning.
Enter current salary or CTC and choose period
First, pick monthly or annual so the math matches how you think about money. Then enter your current salary or CTC to anchor every calculation.
Input a percentage, an amount, or a target new salary
Type a raise percentage, a ringgit amount, or the new salary you want. The tool fills the other fields automatically and avoids manual errors.
Read the outputs: increment amount, percentage, and new pay
The results show the increment amount, the hike percentage, and the new salary side by side. That makes it easy to compare scenarios at a glance.
Pro tip: convert percentages to decimals for quick checks
Use the manual formula for a fast check: new salary = old salary + old salary × raise %. Convert 10% to 0.10 to multiply, then add the amount to get the new pay.
- Select period (monthly or annual) and enter current salary or ctc.
- Enter a percentage, amount, or target new salary and let the tool compute the rest.
- Compare different hike percentage or amount values to calculate hike scenarios and see the impact.
- Use the decimal trick to verify calculations and improve accuracy while avoiding common errors.
“Enter values, check results, compare scenarios — a quick process that boosts clarity.”
Formulas you can trust for raise, hike percentage, and new salary
We show simple math that turns a percentage increase into a concrete new pay figure.
New salary formula: new salary = old salary + old salary × raise percentage. Use this to calculate salary quickly and verify any offer.
Find the hike percentage fast
The trusted method to calculate hike percentage is (new − current) ÷ current × 100. This reveals the percentage increase between two figures so you can check proposals or appraisal results.
Worked examples: 10%, 30%, 40%
Example at 10%: multiply current salary by 1.10 to get the new salary. This is a quick sanity check.
Example at 30%: convert 30% to 0.30. If current salary is 20,000, increase = 20,000 × 0.30 = 6,000. New salary = 26,000.
Example at 40%: increase = current × 0.40; add that to current to compare offers confidently.
CTC vs take-home: what to watch for
CTC changes can look large, but tax and statutory contributions reduce the net effect. Always factor in tax and contributions when you evaluate how a hike affects your income.
“Use the formulas, check examples, and view compensation as base plus benefits to see the true impact.”
| Scenario | Current (MYR) | Percentage | New (MYR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% example | 3,000 | 10% | 3,300 |
| 30% example | 20,000 | 30% | 26,000 |
| 40% example | 5,000 | 40% | 7,000 |

Use cases in Malaysia: appraisals, promotions, offers, and financial planning
When negotiating changes, clear numbers help employees see how a proposed percentage affects take-home pay.
Negotiating a raise with performance data and market alignment
We recommend employees pair performance evidence with market benchmarks. Bring documented results and peer data when you ask for a change.
Use the tool to turn a percentage into monthly and annual figures so your request is concrete and easy to compare.
Comparing job offers and understanding real compensation value
Compare offers by matching periods—monthly to monthly or annual to annual. That shows the true value beyond headline numbers.
Factor in CTC, benefits, and take-home pay to judge overall compensation and decide if a job move is right.
Budgeting, tax awareness, and long-term financial planning
Use outputs to plan savings, debt paydown, and investments. Small changes compound over time, so model 6–12 month scenarios.
“Turning each percentage into clear pay figures gives employees confidence in negotiations and long-term planning.”
- In appraisals, combine performance results with market data and use the tool to show monthly and annual outcomes.
- For promotions, compare the increase to added responsibilities to ensure fair adjustments.
- When assessing an offer, match it to your current salary period and include CTC effects on take-home pay.
- Model adjustments over 6–12 months to prepare for reviews and plan budgets and savings.
| Use case | Focus | Key output |
|---|---|---|
| Appraisal | Performance + market | Concrete monthly & annual figures |
| Promotion | Responsibility alignment | Fair adjustment comparison |
