How To Calculate Pay Rise Percentage
To calculate your pay rise percentage, subtract your old salary from your new salary, divide the increase by your old salary, then multiply the result by 100.
Pay Rise % = (New Salary − Old Salary) ÷ Old Salary × 100. For example, if your annual salary increases from $80,000 to $84,000:
Salary increase:
$84,000 − $80,000 = $4,000
Pay rise percentage:
$4,000 ÷ $80,000 × 100 = 5%
Your salary has therefore increased by 5%, or $4,000 per year.
You can also work in the opposite direction. If you already know the percentage increase, multiply your current salary by the pay rise percentage to calculate the dollar increase.
For example, a 5% pay rise on an $80,000 salary is:
$80,000 × 5% = $4,000
Your new annual salary would be:
$80,000 + $4,000 = $84,000
Use the Pay Rise & Salary Increase Calculator above to calculate either your percentage increase from two salary amounts or your new salary from a proposed pay rise percentage.
Salary Increase Calculator Australia
Use the Salary Increase Calculator Australia to work out how much your annual salary changes after a pay rise or salary adjustment.
Enter your current salary and either:
- your new salary to calculate the percentage increase, or
- your expected pay rise percentage to calculate your new salary.
For example, if your current annual salary is $90,000 and you receive a 4% pay rise:
Salary increase:
$90,000 × 4% = $3,600
New annual salary:
$90,000 + $3,600 = $93,600
Your gross salary would therefore increase by $3,600 per year.
The calculator can also show how that increase affects your gross pay across common Australian pay periods, including:
- weekly
- fortnightly
- monthly
- annually
For example, a $3,600 annual increase is approximately:
$69.23 more per week
$138.46 more per fortnight
$300 more per month
These figures are based on gross salary before income tax, Medicare levy and other deductions.
If you want to estimate how much of your salary increase you may actually receive in your bank account, use the Australian Pay Calculator to compare your estimated take-home pay before and after the increase.
What Is a 4.75% Pay Rise?
A 4.75% pay rise increases your salary by 4.75 cents for every dollar you earn. To calculate the increase, multiply your current salary by 4.75% (0.0475), then add the result to your existing salary.
New Salary = Current Salary × 1.0475
For example, if your annual salary is $80,000:
Pay rise:
$80,000 × 4.75% = $3,800
New annual salary:
$80,000 + $3,800 = $83,800
Why is 4.75% Important in Australia?
The 4.75% figure became particularly significant following the Fair Work Commission’s 2026 Annual Wage Review, which increased the National Minimum Wage and modern award minimum wages by 4.75% from 1 July 2026. While not every employee receives this increase, many Australian workers use a 4.75% pay rise as a benchmark when comparing salary reviews, enterprise agreements and annual performance increases.
If your employer has offered a different percentage, simply enter your own salary and pay rise into the calculator above to instantly calculate your new annual, monthly, fortnightly and weekly pay.
New Salary = Current Salary × 1.0475; For example, if your annual salary is $80,000:
Pay rise:
$80,000 × 4.75% = $3,800
New annual salary:
$80,000 + $3,800 = $83,800
How Much Is a 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 7.5% or 10% Pay Rise?
| Pay Rise | Annual Increase | New Annual Salary | Extra Per Month | Extra Per Fortnight | Extra Per Week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2% | $1,800 | $91,800 | $150 | $69.23 | $34.62 |
| 3% | $2,700 | $92,700 | $225 | $103.85 | $51.92 |
| 4% | $3,600 | $93,600 | $300 | $138.46 | $69.23 |
| 4.75% | $4,275 | $94,275 | $356.25 | $164.42 | $82.21 |
| 5% | $4,500 | $94,500 | $375 | $173.08 | $86.54 |
| 7.5% | $6,750 | $96,750 | $562.50 | $259.62 | $129.81 |
| 10% | $9,000 | $99,000 | $750 | $346.15 | $173.08 |
Common Salary Increase Examples
Below are some common examples of how much a pay rise is worth at different salary levels.
| Current Salary | 3% Pay Rise | 5% Pay Rise | 10% Pay Rise |
| $50,000 | $1,500 | $2,500 | $5,000 |
| $60,000 | $1,800 | $3,000 | $6,000 |
| $70,000 | $2,100 | $3,500 | $7,000 |
| $80,000 | $2,400 | $4,000 | $8,000 |
| $90,000 | $2,700 | $4,500 | $9,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
| $120,000 | $3,600 | $6,000 | $12,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 | $7,500 | $15,000 |
Calculate a Pay Cut Percentage
The same calculator can also be used to calculate a pay cut percentage or salary reduction. Simply enter your current salary and new salary to find the percentage decrease, or enter a negative percentage to estimate your new salary after a pay cut.
The formula is the same as a pay rise calculation:
Pay Cut % = (Current Salary − New Salary) ÷ Current Salary × 100
For example, if your salary decreases from $90,000 to $85,500:
Salary reduction:
$90,000 − $85,500 = $4,500
Percentage decrease:
$4,500 ÷ $90,000 × 100 = 5%
This means your salary has decreased by 5%.
Common Pay Cut Examples
| Current Salary | Pay Cut | Annual Reduction | New Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| $60,000 | 2% | $1,200 | $58,800 |
| $70,000 | 3% | $2,100 | $67,900 |
| $80,000 | 5% | $4,000 | $76,000 |
| $90,000 | 5% | $4,500 | $85,500 |
| $100,000 | 7.5% | $7,500 | $92,500 |
| $120,000 | 10% | $12,000 | $108,000 |
Pay cuts may occur because of reduced working hours, role changes, business restructuring or voluntary salary reductions. Understanding both the percentage decrease and the actual dollar value helps you compare employment offers and estimate how your gross income has changed.
