Let’s see the salary increment calculation.
Salary increment calculation formula –
Salary Increment Percentage = (New salary OR wages – Old Salary)/ (Old Salary) * 100
Salary calculation formula –
New Salary = Current Salary OR wages * Salary Hike Percentage + Current salary
Calculation of Salary Increment percentage
Suppose, you are providing a new salary to the employee of Rs.50,000, and their old salary was Rs.40,000. Calculate the percentage of salary hikes.
Salary Increment Percentage = (New salary/wages – Old Salary)/ (Old Salary) * 100
= (50,000 – 40,000)/(40,000)*100
= (10,000)/40,000*100
= 0.25*100
= 25%
Calculation of salary increment
If you are providing a salary increment of 25% of employees’ current salary. Calculate the new salary increment of the employee.
New Salary = Current Salary/wages * Salary Hike Percentage + current salary
= 40,000 * 25%
= 10,000 + 40,000
= 50,000
So, now you can see how we got the same thing in two different ways.
