About this calculator

What's My Raise? helps employees model proposed raises against a public salary schedule.

Unofficial & educational

Not affiliated with any employer or union. Figures are estimates derived from a publicly posted salary schedule. Numbers here are for projection only — refer to your official HR for your actual compensation.

How the math works

Each year is split into two halves (H1, H2). A percent raise in either half compounds the pay rate multiplicatively. For each year, multiply by (1 + H1%) × (1 + H2%), then chain those factors across all years. Example for two years:

new_rate = current_rate
         × (1 + year1_H1%) × (1 + year1_H2%)
         × (1 + year2_H1%) × (1 + year2_H2%)

annual   = rate × (annual hours if hourly, or 12 if monthly)

Pay rank is the percentile of your projected annual salary across every classification's step-1 pay in the dataset. “Top 25%” means you'd earn more than 75% of entry-step salaries in the dataset.
