How is salary hike percentage calculated?

Salary hike percentage is calculated as (new salary minus old salary) divided by old salary, multiplied by 100.

Should I calculate hike on CTC or in-hand salary?

Use CTC for offer and appraisal comparison. Use in-hand salary separately for monthly cash-flow comparison because PF, tax and deductions can change take-home.

Formula: Salary hike % = ((New salary − Old salary) ÷ Old salary) × 100.

Old salary / old CTCNew salary / new CTCPeriod

How to read the result

Use annual CTC when comparing appraisal letters or job offers.
Use monthly in-hand only for cash-flow comparison, not official hike percentage.
A high CTC hike can still give a lower in-hand increase if PF, tax, variable pay or deductions change.
