What's your current salary and target salary?Enter your role and both salaries and we'll show your estimated monthly take-home pay instantly.

The first check is where it sits (top X%) versus the average for people in the same role and experience level. But total isn't everything — you also need to look at salary composition (base vs. bonus). With the same total, an offer with a higher base salary is genuinely better. Enter your current and offered salary above and we'll judge which one is better, position included.

A base-salary raise of 2–7% or more is generally considered a good offer. Even if bonus brings the total raise above 5%, if base salary is unchanged there may be room to negotiate further. See what percentage to ask for for the detailed breakdown.

It depends on your situation. Citing a specific number backed by market data is often the stronger move, but if you have limited information, leaving room with a range or "negotiable" can also be a valid strategy. See how to write your target salary for situation-by-situation guidance.

With the same total, the offer with a larger base-salary share is better. Bonus can shrink or disappear based on performance and review outcomes, while base salary is fixed — and it also becomes the baseline for your next negotiation. See bonus vs. base salary for more detail.

Results vary by number of dependents, whether a tax-free meal allowance is included, and which rate table version is applied. This calculator assumes a single-person household with a KRW 200,000 tax-free meal allowance by default. See why calculators differ for the full explanation.
