Salary increment formulas
Salary increment can be calculated in different ways depending on what information you already know.
| What you know | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Increment percentage | New salary = Current salary × (1 + increment %) | S$4,000 with 5% increment = S$4,200 |
| Increment amount | New salary = Current salary + increment amount | S$4,000 + S$300 = S$4,300 |
| New salary | Increment % = Increase ÷ Current salary × 100 | S$4,000 to S$4,500 = 12.5% increase |

What to consider before accepting a salary increment
A salary increase is useful, but the amount you actually receive in your bank account may be lower after CPF, tax and other payroll deductions.
Higher salary may increase employee CPF contribution, depending on CPF wage ceilings and eligibility.
A higher annual income may increase estimated annual tax payable.
Compare basic salary, AWS, bonus, allowance, commission and benefits, not just monthly salary.
Increment percentage vs increment amount
Percentage increment helps compare raises across different salary levels, while dollar amount shows the actual increase you will receive each month.
| Method | Best for | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage increase | Comparing pay raise rates | Whether the raise is 3%, 5%, 10% or more. |
| Monthly amount increase | Cash flow planning | How much extra salary you get each month before deductions. |
| Annual salary increase | Career and income planning | How much more you earn over a full year. |
