Frequently asked questions

Does this show my take-home pay after the raise?+

No — this shows the gross (before-tax) salary change. Use the paycheck calculator with your new salary figure to see the actual take-home impact after taxes.

How does a raise compare to inflation?+

If your raise percentage is below the current inflation rate, your real (inflation-adjusted) purchasing power has actually decreased, even though your nominal salary went up — always compare your raise to recent inflation figures for the real picture.

Could a raise push me into a higher tax bracket?+

It's possible, but in most tax systems only the additional income is taxed at the higher marginal rate (not your whole salary) — so a raise almost never results in less take-home pay overall, even if part of it is taxed at a higher rate.
