Free Salary Hike Letter Generator
A salary hike letter is the mid-cycle version of an appraisal letter — for promotions, retention counter-offers or annual increments issued outside the main appraisal window. It records the revised salary, the effective date and the reason for the hike.

About the Salary Hike Letter Generator
When to issue a hike letter
Issue a formal letter whenever compensation changes: promotion, market-rate correction, retention offer, or an annual increment. A verbal confirmation is easy to dispute months later; a signed letter is not.
Frame the reason clearly
Employees want to understand why. 'Recognition of consistent overachievement in Q1–Q3' lands very differently from a bland 'annual increment'. Use the reason field to make it personal.
Effective date and back-pay
Be explicit about the effective date. If there is any back-pay for the interim period, mention when and how it will be paid — either in the letter or the accompanying email.
