How to Use the Salary Raise Reverse Calculator
"I make $60,000 now but want $70,000 next year โ what raise percentage should I ask for?" When you know your current and target salary, this tool instantly calculates the exact raise percentage you need for a negotiation or job offer comparison.
The formula is: required raise (%) = (target salary โ current salary) รท current salary ร 100. For example, going from $60,000 to $70,000 requires a 16.7% raise. If your target is lower than your current salary, the result shows a negative percentage, meaning you've already surpassed that target.
