1. What is Salary Increment?

Salary increment refers to the increase in an employee's basic salary, typically expressed as a percentage of their current salary. In Singapore, salary increments are commonly given during annual performance reviews, promotions, or as part of cost-of-living adjustments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the salary increment formula:

\[ Increment = Basic\ Salary \times \frac{Increment\ \%}{100} \]

Where:

\( Basic\ Salary \) — Current monthly salary in Singapore Dollars (SGD)
\( Increment\ \% \) — Percentage increase expressed as a decimal

Explanation: The formula calculates the monetary amount of the salary increase by multiplying the basic salary by the increment percentage (converted to decimal form).
