To calculate a 30% hike on an employee’s current CTC, multiply their current salary by 1.30. This results in a 30% increase in their CTC. (This is the easiest way to do it using a calculator.)
Here, 1.30 is the decimal value:
- 1 represents the current CTC (100%)
- 0.30 represents the hike in CTC (30%)

Using Excel to Calculate a CTC Hike

Formula:New CTC = Current CTC + (Current CTC * Hike Percentage)
(Ensure that the hike percentage is entered as a decimal, e.g., 30% as 0.30.)
Is a 30% hike on CTC good?
- If your next job offers a 30% or more raise, congratulations, it is a reasonable hike !
- However, the final decision should be taken based on the company’s salary policies and the competition for the job.
