Salary Hike, honestly.

Compute your new CTC after a hike, or find the % between two CTCs. Inflation-adjusted so you see the real raise — not just the headline number.

Your salary hike percentage is (new CTC − old CTC) ÷ old CTC × 100. This calculator finds your new CTC after a raise, or the exact % increment between two figures — and adjusts for inflation so you see your real raise. In India, 9–10% is an average annual hike; 15%+ is strong, and a job switch often brings 30%+. Is your new salary competitive? Check the market →

What counts as a good hike in India in 2025?

India's average annual increment for 2025 is around 9.1% (Aon, Mercer surveys), with inflation at roughly 5.5%. That means a 9% hike is only ~3.5% real growth — and anything below 5% is actually a real-terms pay cut. 15%+ is excellent for internal raises, and 30%+ usually only comes with a job switch.
