How to calculate a pay raise

To find your new pay, multiply your current pay by 1 plus the raise as a decimal. A 4% raise on $50,000 is $50,000 × 1.04 = $52,000.

To find the raise percent, take the new pay minus the old pay, divide by the old pay and multiply by 100. Going from $50,000 to $53,500 is a 7% raise.

Compare the raise with inflation for the same year. If prices rose faster than your pay, your money buys less than before, even after the raise.

Divide the increase by your old pay and multiply by 100. From $25 to $26 an hour is a $1 increase, and $1 ÷ $25 × 100 = 4%. To go the other way, multiply your pay by 1 plus the percent as a decimal.
