Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a raise percentage?
Divide the difference by your old pay: (new − old) ÷ old × 100. Going from $60,000 to $63,000 is a 5% raise.
What is a good raise in 2026?
Merit raises in the US have averaged roughly 3–4% in recent years; 5% or more is strong, and job changes often bring 10–20%.
How much of a raise do I keep after taxes?
Your raise is taxed at your marginal rate, not your average rate. In a no-income-tax state at $60,000, you keep about 80% of a raise (12% federal + 7.65% FICA).
