Salary Hike Calculation in IT Companies

1. How is a salary hike usually calculated in IT companies these days?

2. What is the hike percentage?

It's not a universal policy; this varies from company to company because it all depends on the company's progress and profitability. A company will not give any hike if it is in loss or if its profitability decreases.

3. Is a hike calculated on CTC or on gross salary?

This also varies from company to company.

4. What percentage of variable pay is usually given?

Nothing is fixed.
