Terms of Use
These terms cover your use of wageincreasecalculator.com. The short version: the site gives you arithmetic, not advice. Every figure it produces is an estimate of gross pay derived from the numbers you type and the conversion assumptions published on the calculator page, and it should be checked against your own payslip, contract or payroll department before you rely on it for anything that matters. Using the site means you accept what follows.
What the calculator provides
The calculator applies published formulas to the values you enter and converts the outcome between hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual pay. It runs in your browser, and the results are estimates rather than a statement of what you will be paid.
Those estimates depend on two things: the accuracy of your own inputs, and the fixed assumptions the tool uses to move an amount between cadences - 2,080 work hours per year, 52 weeks, 26 biweekly periods and 12 months. Those assumptions are stated on the calculator page. Where your situation differs from them, the converted amounts will differ too.
Real pay is shaped by things the calculator does not model. Payroll calendars vary, and some employers run 24 or 27 pay periods rather than 26. Overtime, shift premiums, commission, bonuses, benefits and pension or insurance contributions are outside the calculation. Taxes and other withholding are excluded entirely, so take-home pay is always lower than the gross figures shown. Rounding rules, the effective date of an increase, mid-period changes, local employment law and individual employer practice can all move the final number.
Verify before you act. For anything material - accepting an offer, negotiating a raise, budgeting against a new salary, checking whether you have been paid correctly - confirm the figures with your payroll or HR department, or with an appropriately qualified professional.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is financial, tax, legal, employment or payroll advice, and nothing here creates a professional or advisory relationship between you and the site. The pages describe general arithmetic; they do not take account of your jurisdiction, your contract, your tax position or your personal circumstances, and they are not a substitute for advice from someone who can consider all of those.
Using the site
You are welcome to use the calculator for personal or work purposes, including quoting its results in your own conversations, as long as you do not present them as verified payroll figures.
Please do not misuse or disrupt the service. That means no attempting to interfere with the site or the systems that host it, no automated activity that degrades availability for other people, no attempting to gain access to parts of the service that are not public, and no using the site to break the law or to mislead someone about their pay.
The site is provided as available. Pages, formulas, wording and features may be corrected, changed or removed, and the service may be unavailable at times, whether for maintenance or for reasons outside anyone's control. Where a change affects how a result is calculated, the calculator page's stated assumptions are the current reference.
External links
Some pages may link to other websites. Those sites are run by other people, and a link is a pointer, not an endorsement or a guarantee of accuracy. When you follow one you leave this site, and that site's own terms and privacy practices apply.
Corrections and contact
If you think a formula, an assumption or a figure on this site is wrong, please say so - corrections are welcome and are the fastest way to get an error fixed. Use the contact page to get in touch. Questions about how the calculator handles your data are answered on the privacy page.
Continuing to use the site after these terms are updated means you accept the updated version. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
