About Raise Calculator
A free calculator that turns "5% raise" into real dollar amounts across every paycheck.
What It Does
Raise Calculator is a free tool that shows exactly how a pay raise affects your salary across all pay periods — hourly, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual. It includes after-tax estimates so you can see your actual take-home increase, and compares your raise against inflation to show whether your purchasing power is truly going up.
Why We Built It
"5% raise" sounds abstract. We wanted to make it concrete — showing the actual dollar impact on each paycheck. Whether you're negotiating a new salary, evaluating a job offer, or just curious what your raise means in practice, this calculator gives you the numbers instantly.
Data Sources
Tax estimates use 2026 US federal effective tax rates based on IRS published brackets. Inflation data references the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI). All calculations run entirely in your browser — no salary data is sent to any server.
