What is a real raise?

A real raise is your pay increase adjusted for inflation. If you get a 5% raise but inflation is 3%, your purchasing power only grows by roughly 1.9%. The tool shows this real figure alongside the headline percentage.

Does this show take-home pay?

No, the figures are gross — before income tax and other deductions. For net pay use a salary tax calculator for your country. This tool focuses on the size and real value of the raise.

Is my salary kept private?

Yes. Every calculation runs in your browser with JavaScript. Your salary and raise figures are never uploaded or stored.
