By accessing or using the Raise Calculator website ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
The Raise Calculator is a free, educational tool that generates salary raise estimates based on publicly available labor market data, international wage benchmarks, and user-provided inputs. The tool is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
All calculations produced by this tool are approximations. They are based on statistical medians and multipliers derived from third-party data sources and are intended to serve as a starting reference point for compensation research and negotiation preparation — not as authoritative determinations of market value, fair pay, legal entitlement, or any other definitive standard.
Nothing on this Site constitutes financial advice, legal advice, employment advice, or professional compensation consulting. The output of the calculator is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified employment attorney, HR professional, certified compensation analyst, or financial advisor.
If you are facing a specific employment dispute, compensation negotiation with legal implications, or a formal pay equity analysis, you should seek professional guidance appropriate to your jurisdiction and circumstances.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the wage benchmark data used by this tool is sourced from credible, official government and international statistical agencies. However, we make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any data or output generated by the Site.
Salary data is inherently variable and time-sensitive. Labor markets shift with economic conditions, sector-specific trends, and geopolitical factors that may not be reflected in our annual benchmark updates. The calculator's output may differ materially from real-time market conditions, specific employer pay bands, or compensation figures obtained from current job postings and professional surveys.
Data sources include but are not limited to: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the International Labour Organization (ILO) ILOSTAT database, the World Bank International Comparison Program, the OECD Employment Outlook, and the national labor statistics agencies of the countries covered by the tool. The use of these sources does not imply endorsement by any of these organizations.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site, its operators, authors, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or reliance on the Site or its output — including but not limited to damages arising from failed salary negotiations, employment decisions, financial loss, or data inaccuracies.
You use this Site and its outputs entirely at your own risk. Your reliance on any information provided by this Site is solely at your own discretion and risk.
You are permitted to use this Site for personal, non-commercial purposes — specifically to research compensation benchmarks, prepare for pay discussions, and understand your market value as a worker.
You may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any part of the Site's content or tooling without written permission; (b) use automated scripts, bots, or crawlers to scrape data from the Site; (c) use the Site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law; or (d) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying data models or calculation logic for commercial redistribution.
