What is a real raise?
Real raise adjusts your nominal increase by inflation to estimate purchasing-power change.

Should bonus be treated as recurring?
No. This model treats bonus as one-time in year one unless your plan assumes recurring bonus terms.

Use the Raise Planning Guide to prepare low, target, and stretch scenarios before compensation review meetings.

For take-home impact after withholding, pair this with the TaxKit Raise Tax Calculator and TaxKit Paycheck Tax Calculator.
