1. What is the Pay Raise Calculator?

The Omni Pay Raise Calculator helps you determine your new salary after a percentage-based raise. It calculates the exact dollar amount increase and your new total compensation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pay raise formula:

Where:

• Old Salary — Current salary before raise (USD)
• Rate — Raise percentage expressed as decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%)

Explanation: The formula multiplies your current salary by the raise rate to determine the increase amount, then adds it to your original salary.

3. Importance of Pay Raise Calculation

Details: Understanding your new salary helps with financial planning, budgeting, and evaluating job offers or promotion opportunities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current salary in USD and the raise rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.03 for 3%). All values must be valid (salary > 0, rate between 0-1).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I convert a percentage to decimal?
A: Divide the percentage by 100 (e.g., 5% = 5/100 = 0.05).

Q2: Does this account for taxes or deductions?
A: No, this calculates gross salary only. Net pay will be lower after taxes and deductions.

Q3: Can I calculate multiple raises?
A: For consecutive raises, use the new salary as the "old salary" in subsequent calculations.

Q4: What about cost of living adjustments?
A: COLA is typically calculated the same way - enter the adjustment rate as the raise rate.

Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: It provides precise calculations based on the inputs, but actual salary changes may include other factors.
