Frequently asked questions

What does this tell me?

Your new annual salary after a percentage pay rise, and the actual money the rise adds. A 5% rise on 60,000 is 3,000 more a year.

Is this before or after tax?

Before tax. It shows the gross change to your salary; your take-home rise will be smaller once tax is applied, which the Tax Rate Change calculator can illustrate.

How can I compare two job offers with it?

Run each offer's base and rise to see the resulting salary, then compare the figures directly rather than wrestling with percentages in your head.

Does a percentage rise compound over years?

A single rise does not, but successive annual rises do build on each other. Run it year by year, using each new salary as the next base, to see the snowball.

Why does the dollar figure matter more than the percentage?

Because 10% of a small salary can be less cash than 3% of a large one. The absolute gain is what actually lands in your account.
