What is a salary hike?
A salary hike, or increment, is a permanent increase in your pay. It is usually quoted as a percentage of your current salary, for example a 10% hike, or as a fixed amount. Appraisals, promotions and job changes are the usual reasons for one.

Things to check before you compare offers
- Compare like with like. CTC to CTC, or in-hand to in-hand. Mixing them gives a misleading percentage.
- A bigger CTC is not always a bigger take-home. Provident fund, tax and other deductions change with the salary structure.
- Look at variable pay. A hike on fixed pay and a hike including a bonus are very different numbers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a salary hike percentage?
Subtract your old salary from your new salary, divide the result by your old salary, and multiply by 100.
How do I calculate my new salary after a hike?
Multiply your current salary by the hike percentage divided by 100 to get the increase, then add the increase to your current salary.
Should I compare CTC to CTC or in-hand to in-hand?
Compare the same figure on both sides. A hike calculated on CTC does not mean your monthly take-home rises by the same percentage, because tax, provident fund and other deductions also change.
Can a hike percentage be negative?
Yes. If the new salary is lower than the old one, the result is a negative percentage, which is a pay cut.
