Real Raise Check
Work out whether your raise beat inflation or quietly became a pay cut, using your own numbers. Runs in your browser and nothing is stored.
Enter last year's salary and this year's. We compare it against your country's actual inflation and tell you whether it was a raise or a quiet pay cut, plus the number you needed just to stand still. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
Gross annual, before tax. Any currency, because we only use the ratio.
All 65 countries use current 2026 annual CPI, and each one shows the month its figure comes from. Check the dropdown. Sources: national inflation tables and the Eurostat July 2026 flash estimate for EU members. Nothing here is estimated or averaged: a number whose age you cannot see is worse than one you can judge.
Enter both figures to see the result.
It runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is transmitted or stored. The output is indicative and derived from your own inputs, so it is only as good as they are. It is educational material, not professional, financial, legal or tax advice, and it is not an audit, a quote or a substitute for review by someone who can see your actual environment.
