The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• Current Salary — Your current annual salary in any currency
• Hike Percentage — The percentage increase in your salary
• 12 — Number of months in a year

Explanation: The equation first calculates the new annual salary after the percentage increase, then divides by 12 to get the monthly amount.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this calculator account for taxes or deductions?
A: No, this calculates gross salary only. Net salary would be lower after taxes and deductions.

Q2: Can I use this for hourly or weekly wages?
A: This calculator is designed for annual salaries. For other pay frequencies, you'd need to annualize first.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but actual salary may vary based on company policies and rounding.

Q4: What if my salary has multiple components?
A: For complex salary structures, calculate each component separately or use your total annual compensation.

Q5: Can I calculate backwards from desired monthly salary?
A: Yes, you would reverse the formula: Annual Salary = (Desired Monthly × 12) / (1 + Hike Percentage/100)
