Bonus:
Bonus = base salary × bonus percentage / 100.
Gross Income:
Gross income = base salary + bonus.
Net Income:
Net income = gross income − estimated tax.
Inflation-Adjusted Income:
Real income = net income ÷ (1 + inflation rate / 100)year.
Salary CAGR:
CAGR = ((final salary ÷ starting salary)1 / years − 1) × 100.

Yearly Salary Increase Planning Guide
Why Salary Growth Matters
A yearly salary increase can change long-term income in a major way. Even a small raise can grow strongly over many years. This happens because each raise is often applied to the latest salary. The calculator helps you see that compounding effect clearly. It also shows how bonuses, taxes, and inflation affect your income.
Understand Nominal and Real Income
Nominal income is the amount shown on paper. Real income is the value after inflation. This difference is important. A salary may rise each year. Yet buying power can still fall if inflation grows faster. That is why this tool includes inflation-adjusted income. It gives a more practical view of your future earnings.
Use Raises for Career Decisions
Employees can use this calculator before reviews. It helps compare percentage raises and fixed raises. It can also test promotion effects. Managers can use it for payroll planning. Freelancers can estimate future income goals. The yearly table makes each change easy to review.
Plan With Taxes and Bonuses
Gross income does not always reflect take-home pay. Taxes reduce the amount you keep. Bonuses can improve total compensation. This calculator combines these parts in one projection. You can test many scenarios. Try conservative, normal, and optimistic raise rates. Compare the final salary and real income each time.
Export and Review
The CSV file is useful for spreadsheets. The PDF report is helpful for sharing. Keep a copy before salary meetings. Review your assumptions each year. Update tax, inflation, and bonus rates when needed. Better inputs create better forecasts.
