1. What is Salary Increment Percentage?

Salary increment percentage is a measure of how much a salary increases relative to the current salary. It is commonly used in employment contexts to calculate raises, promotions, and annual salary adjustments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the salary increment formula:

\[ \text{Increment %} = \frac{\text{Increment Amount}}{\text{Current Salary}} \times 100 \]
