Hike & appraisal
Salary Hike & Increment Calculator
Calculate a raise in either direction: enter the hike percentage to see the new CTC, or enter the old and new salary to see the real percentage change. Then move beyond the headline percentage into estimated in-hand, purchasing power, market salary and stronger live opportunities.

Use it for a real decision
What this calculator is trying to answer
- Convert an appraisal percentage into annual and monthly rupees before deciding whether it is meaningful.
- Reverse-calculate the hike percentage when a recruiter gives you only the new offer amount.
- Separate nominal hike from inflation-adjusted purchasing-power growth instead of treating every raise as real growth.
- Compare revised CTC with Jobiba's role-and-city market before accepting a percentage as the final negotiation frame.
- Continue into offer comparison, job-switch planning and matching jobs when the raise does not meet your target.
Worked thinking
A 20% hike is not automatically a 20% lifestyle upgrade
If CTC rises from ₹10 lakh to ₹12 lakh, the headline hike is 20%. Monthly in-hand can rise by less because tax and PF move too. Inflation, added responsibility, commute and market pay can change whether the raise is actually a good outcome.
The useful part is not the exact rupee at the end. It is seeing which assumptions move the answer: PF basis, variable pay, gratuity, tax, commute cost, or the salary band for your actual role.
Questions people ask before accepting an offer
How is salary hike percentage calculated?
Hike % = (new salary − old salary) ÷ old salary × 100. Use monthly salary or annual CTC, but compare the same basis on both sides.
Should I calculate hike on CTC, fixed pay or in-hand salary?
Use the same base on both sides. Recruiters often discuss CTC hike, while fixed-pay and in-hand comparisons can be more useful for your decision.
Why does Jobiba show an inflation-adjusted number?
A nominal raise shows how salary changed. The inflation-adjusted view is a planning lens for whether purchasing power improved; it is not a prediction of your personal expenses.
Can I use this for a job switch?
Yes, but do not stop at the percentage. Compare the target role's market pay, variable-pay risk, location costs, commute and career scope.
What should I do if my hike is below the market?
Use market evidence to prepare a negotiation range, compare the complete offer, or inspect matching jobs. Jobiba provides evidence and options; it does not decide whether you should resign or accept an offer.
