Understanding salary hikes
How salary increases work
Merit increase
Based on individual performance, skills growth, and contributions. Typical range is 3–10% annually.
Promotion increase
A larger jump (10–30%) when moving to a higher-level role with greater responsibilities.
Market adjustment
Salary correction to match market rates — often 5–15% when benchmarks rise in competitive fields.
Cost of living adjustment
COLA increases tied to inflation — usually 2–5% to maintain purchasing power.
