Workforce merit matrix funding calculator

Calculate unscaled requested raise cost by cell and funded raise cost by cell with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Choose the currency for these amounts. Changing it keeps your numbers and does not convert exchange rates.

Use unscaled requested raise cost by cell and funded raise cost by cell to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Unscaled requested raise cost by cell ($)

Round each cell payroll×supplied raise percentage to US cents.

Funded raise cost by cell ($)

If over budget allocate budget US cents proportional to rounded cell requests, largest remainder with input-order ties; otherwise fund requests.

Total funded cost ($)

Sum funded cell amounts.

Unspent budget ($)

Budget−funded total.

Uniform scaling factor before cent allocation

min(1,budget/request total); one when no request cost.

Funded raise cost/total included payroll (%)

Funded cost/total supplied payroll×100.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • An aggregate supplied-matrix budget calculation. Cell labels, proposed raises and eligibility are external inputs; aggregate cell funding is not an individual employee raise allocation.
Are these inputs private?
