Frequently asked questions

How is a pay raise calculated?

Multiply your salary by the raise percentage to get the increase, then add it. A 5% raise on $50,000 adds $2,500, for a new salary of $52,500.

Does a raise keep up with inflation?

Only if it beats the inflation rate. A raise below inflation is a real-terms pay cut, so compare your percentage with the current rate of price rises.
