Salary negotiation works better as a range, not a single number
A target raise is only the starting point. This simulator turns your current salary and desired raise into optimistic, moderate, and conservative outcomes, then estimates Korean-style monthly net pay so you can judge the practical difference in cash flow.
Calculation basis
Monthly gross
The negotiated annual salary is divided by twelve to estimate monthly gross pay.
Simplified net pay
Korean pension, health insurance, long-term care, employment insurance, and income tax are simplified for a monthly estimate.
How to use
- Enter your current annual salary in units of KRW 10,000.
- Enter the raise percentage you want to negotiate for.
- Compare salary, raise amount, and monthly net pay across the three scenarios.
Frequently asked questions
Will the net pay match my payslip?
No. It is a simplified estimate. Tax-free allowances, dependents, benefit plans, and employer deductions can change the actual result.
Why use three scenarios?
Negotiations rarely end exactly at the opening target. A range helps you define an ask, a realistic middle, and a minimum acceptable outcome.
What evidence should support a raise request?
Market salary ranges, recent performance, and quantified business impact such as revenue, savings, or delivery improvements are the strongest inputs.
This tool is a general estimate. Confirm actual compensation, tax, and labor matters with the relevant institution or professional.
