What Is a Pay Rise?
A pay rise (also known as a salary increase or wage increase) is an increase in your earnings, usually awarded annually, after a promotion, or as part of a performance review.
Pay rises are commonly applied as:
- A percentage increase (e.g., 5% raise)
- A fixed amount (e.g. £2,000 per year)
How the Pay Rise Calculator Works
This pay rise calculator follows a simple process:
- Converts your current pay to an annual amount
- Applies your chosen pay rise (percentage or fixed amount)
- Calculates your new annual salary
- Converts the result back into your selected pay period
If an inflation rate is entered, the calculator also estimates the real-terms change in your pay.
What You Can Calculate
With this calculator, you can see:
- Your new salary after a pay rise
- The value of the increase in monetary terms

- Estimated real pay change after inflation

This makes it ideal for budgeting and salary planning.
