About this tool
A salary hike percentage sounds bigger than it feels. This calculator shows the real impact — after tax, after variable-pay adjustment, and after cost-of-living erosion. India IT industry annual hikes averaged 6-10% in 2024-25 vs 20-40% for job changes. Variable components (JBP/RSU/bonus) often account for 10-20% of the new CTC — company keeps this conditional on performance targets. Always ask employers what percentage of the hike is FIXED vs VARIABLE before accepting an offer.
