How to Calculate a Salary Increase?

I am wondering what’s your salary increment and bonus like? In my opinion, salary increment can be range in between 5-30% depending on your job performance while bonus commonly can be range in between 1-6 months. Is that true?

What about the benefits of your company? What are the working hours and workload like? For my company, I can get education allowance, medical allowances up to RM400 per financial year, and personal insurance claim.

As we known, Malaysia’s inflation rate hit was a bout 7-8%. It’s almost high mostly due to the increase in petrol price. If your salary does not increase by at least 8%, then you aren’t really getting an increase in income. Am I right?

This is the way to calculate a percentage of pay increase:

1. Take the difference between two pay RM3,500 – RM3,000 = RM500
2. Divide it by the original number, RM500 /RM3,000 = 0.16
3. Finally, multiply the number above by 100. So, 0.16×100 = 16%

You’ve gotten a 16% raise which is far better than the standard “cost of living increase” of about 7-8%? My final advice: For those who do not have preset salary increases, it’s better to use a salary increase rate that is on par with inflation at minimum. So, have you checked yours? How much percentage you get every year?
