Common questions
Salary Increase Calculator FAQs
Can I enter monthly salaries?
Yes. Choose monthly frequency and the calculator will annualize both salaries for comparison.
What is a real salary increase?
It is the increase after accounting for inflation, which better reflects a change in purchasing power.
Why is real growth not simply raise minus inflation?
The precise formula compares two growth factors, so it differs slightly from simple subtraction.
