Measure the raise you will actually feel
A five percent headline does not always feel like five percent in the bank. This calculator contrasts current and new gross values under a tax percentage so you can translate negotiation outcomes into monthly reality.
Use in career talks
Bring the net monthly number into budget and savings-rate plans. If the raise barely covers commuting or childcare inflation, you have a clearer ask—or a clearer “no.” Not a payroll engine; private educational math.
