1. What is Salary Increment Percentage?

Salary increment percentage is a measure of how much a salary has increased from the old amount to the new amount, expressed as a percentage of the original salary. It helps employees and employers understand the magnitude of salary changes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the salary increment formula:

\[ \text{Increment \%} = \frac{\text{New Salary} - \text{Old Salary}}{\text{Old Salary}} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( \text{New Salary} \) — The updated or proposed salary amount
