FAQs
Raise Calculator questions
Does this show take-home pay after a raise?
No. It shows gross pay only. Taxes, withholding, retirement contributions, insurance, and other deductions can change take-home pay.
How does a flat raise work for hourly pay?
When hourly pay is selected, the flat amount is treated as an hourly increase and annualized with the entered hours per week and work weeks per year.
Does this include overtime or bonuses?
No. Enter regular base pay only. Overtime eligibility, premium rates, bonuses, commissions, and leave policies require separate assumptions.
Why is the pay-period amount approximate?
The calculator divides the annual increase evenly across the entered number of pay periods. Payroll calendars, start dates, partial periods, and rounding can change individual checks.
