About This Calculator
This calculator works in reverse from the Raise Calculator: instead of applying a percentage to see your new salary, you enter your current salary and a target salary, and it tells you exactly what percentage increase that represents — useful when preparing for a salary negotiation or comparing a job offer.
How This Is Calculated
Increase % = (Target Salary − Current Salary) ÷ Current Salary × 100
Going from $65,000 to $75,000 represents a 15.4% increase — useful framing when negotiating or evaluating an offer.
Assumptions
- Compares gross salary figures; does not account for changes in benefits, bonus structure, or cost of living between roles.
