Reply to comment by Nameless408 in I make 42k and I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. I signed a 60k offer onsite 23 miles there and back 45 min, 45 min back. Does this make any sense? by RemarkableCell1859

Sorry if it’s off topic but how do you calculate the percentage increase?

New pay minus old pay, then divide that by the old pay. That will tell you how much higher %-wise the new pay is

I wasn't trying to be precise, but to find the proper percentage, you could just divide the new salary by the old salary and then subtract 1.

60 ÷ 42 = 1.428

1.428 - 1 = .428, which is 42.8% just under my rough estimate of 45% hope that helps!
