Pay raise calculator guide
WeCovr's pay raise calculator estimates a new annual salary and the size of a raise from your current pay and raise percentage. It is useful for pay-review discussions and budgeting around a proposed increase.
How this pay raise calculator works
The calculator applies the chosen percentage increase to current annual pay to estimate the raise amount and the new annual salary.
It also shows the rough monthly gross uplift to make the change easier to picture.
Uses current annual pay and raise percentage.
Returns raise amount and new annual pay.
Also shows a rough monthly gross increase.
Why gross and net pay differ after a raise
A pay rise changes gross earnings first, but the net improvement in take-home pay depends on tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and other deductions.
How to use the result
Use it for budgeting or negotiation context, then sense-check the real net gain with a take-home or net-income tool.

Why show the monthly increase too?
Because it helps translate the annual raise into a more practical budgeting figure.
Is this useful for negotiations?
