Formula Used
The calculation for a 15% salary increase is based on simple percentage increase:

Salary Increase = Current Salary × 0.15
This formula is used to determine both the amount of your raise and your new total salary.
Worked Example

Example Calculation
Current Salary: $50,000
Salary Increase: $50,000 × 0.15 = $7,500
New Salary: $50,000 + $7,500 = $57,500
In this example, you would receive a $7,500 raise, bringing your total compensation to $57,500.
