Calculate whether a salary raise beats inflation.
Getting a reliable result
Check the currency, period and rate convention before entering amounts. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.
Worked example
A salary increase from 50,000 to 55,000 is a 10% nominal raise. With 4% inflation over the same period, the purchasing-power gain is about 5.77%, not 6%.
Limitations to check
Rounding, taxes, fees and lender conventions can change real outcomes. Verify estimates against the actual product terms.
