The real-terms figure
3Annual or monthly — the tool handles both and shows the other.
Either a percentage or a cash amount; the other is calculated for you.
Entering an inflation rate shows whether the rise is a real increase or just keeping pace.
A rise below inflation reduces your purchasing power. That is the number worth taking into a salary conversation.
Offers are quoted both ways, and converting between them is exactly what you want to do when comparing.
Annual figures are abstract. The monthly difference is what you will actually notice.
Enter your current salary and either the percentage or the amount of the rise to see the new figure and what it adds each month. The more revealing calculation is the real-terms one: a 3% rise against 4% inflation is a pay cut in purchasing power, and the tool shows that explicitly. Works with annual or monthly salaries, and all figures are gross — before tax and deductions.
