How to Judge Whether a Raise Is Meaningful
A raise can sound large as a yearly number but feel smaller on each paycheck. The most useful way to compare a raise is to look at the annual increase, monthly increase, paycheck increase, and hourly change together.
Annual impact
This shows the full gross raise over a year. It is the best view when comparing offers or annual compensation changes.
Paycheck impact
This shows how much extra money each paycheck adds before taxes. It is often the most practical number for day-to-day budgeting.
Hourly impact
This helps compare raises across salary and hourly roles by translating the raise into a per-hour increase.

Short answer for searchers

How to Calculate a Pay Raise
Raise amount = Current salary x Raise percentage
New salary = Current salary + Raise amount
Raise percentage = Raise amount / Current salary x 100
Percentage Raise vs. Fixed Raise
A 5% raise grows with your current pay, while a fixed $3,000 raise stays the same no matter where you start. Both can lead to very different paycheck increases.
What Does a Raise Mean Per Paycheck?
Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly payroll schedules divide the same annual raise in different ways. This page shows your extra per paycheck based on the pay frequency you choose.
Raise by Percentage
Use this mode when your employer says your raise is 3%, 4%, 5%, or another percentage of your current pay.
Raise by Fixed Amount
Use this mode when you know the raise as a dollar amount, such as an extra $3,000 per year or $2 more per hour.
Calculate from New Salary
Use this mode when you already know the new salary and want the calculator to work backward and show the raise amount and raise percentage.
