Read Guide →Hike % = ((New Salary - Old Salary) / Old Salary) x 100. For example, CTC going from 8 lakh to 9.5 lakh is a 18.75% hike. When switching jobs, calculate on total CTC including variable pay and benefits, not just basic salary.
Annual appraisals: 8 to 15% is typical, top performers get 15 to 25%. Job switches: 30 to 50% is common, in-demand tech roles may see 50 to 100%+. The average hike across Indian industries is about 9 to 10%. Above 20% in an appraisal is considered excellent.
Negotiate on CTC (total package value). But understand the breakup: a 15 lakh CTC might be 12 lakh fixed and 3 lakh variable. Take-home after PF, tax, and deductions could be 85,000 to 90,000 per month. Always ask for complete salary breakup before accepting.
Higher salary means higher taxable income and potentially a higher slab. Under New Tax Regime, income above 15 lakh is taxed at 30%. A 2 lakh hike at 30% slab gives only 1.4 lakh additional take-home. Factor in tax impact when evaluating offers.
Most Indian companies do annual appraisals (April or January cycle). Some startups do bi-annual reviews. If no hike in 18+ months despite good performance, discuss with your manager or explore the market. Use salary benchmarks from Glassdoor and AmbitionBox.
