Your inputs

Use consistent units and periods. Defaults are examples.

Your result

Check the assumptions below before relying on a result.

Formula and method

Change = proposed − current. Percentage change = change ÷ current × 100. Pay at target increase = current × (1 + target ÷ 100).

Worked example

Moving from 50,000 to 55,000 is a 5,000 increase, or 10%. A separate 12% target would produce 56,000.
