How to read your result
A percentage raise looks the same regardless of your starting salary, but its real impact on take-home pay depends on how the extra income interacts with your tax bracket β a raise that pushes part of your income into a higher slab means the effective increase in take-home is somewhat less than the raw percentage suggests.
β οΈ Common Mistakes
β Assuming a raise translates to the exact same percentage increase in take-home pay.
β Progressive tax brackets mean the marginal portion of a raise is often taxed at a higher rate than your average rate β the take-home increase is typically a bit smaller than the gross percentage raise.
β Not adjusting retirement contributions or other percentage-based deductions after a raise.
β If your retirement contribution is a percentage of salary, it automatically increases with a raise β factor this into your expected take-home change, since it's a real reduction in cash even though it's going toward your own savings.
