How do I calculate my new CTC after a 20% hike?

Multiply your current CTC by 1.20. For example, 8,00,000 x 1.20 = 9,60,000.

Should I calculate hike on gross, in-hand, or CTC?

Companies usually quote hike on CTC, but what matters most is the change in in-hand salary. Compare like-for-like - old CTC vs new CTC, or old in-hand vs new in-hand.

How is the hike percentage calculated when changing jobs?

Same formula - ((New - Old) / Old) x 100 - but recruiters typically compare fixed CTC of the new offer against fixed CTC of the current package, excluding variable bonuses.

Does this calculator work for any currency?

Yes. The hike percentage is a ratio, so it is currency-independent. Amounts display with a Rupee symbol but the math works the same for any currency.

How is salary hike percentage calculated?

The salary hike percentage is the percentage increase between your old salary and your new salary. The standard formula is:

Hike % = ((New Salary − Old Salary) / Old Salary) × 100

For example, if your old salary was ₹50,000 and your new salary is ₹60,000, the hike is:

((60000 − 50000) / 50000) × 100 = 20%

To work out a new salary from a known hike percentage, use:

New Salary = Old Salary × (1 + Hike % / 100)
