How to Calculate a Pay Raise

For a dollar raise, subtract current pay from new pay. For a percentage raise, divide the dollar change by current pay and multiply by 100. Hourly pay uses your work schedule; salary pay starts with annual compensation.

Hourly Raise vs Salary Raise

An hourly raise changes the wage used with hours and weeks worked. A salary raise changes annual compensation and can be converted to an hourly equivalent using your schedule.
