Trending @Cognizant; Expected Salary Hike – August 2025 (Based on Ratings)
Hi Team,
As we approach the August 2025 merit cycle, here’s a quick estimate of possible hike percentages based on performance ratings. These are based on recent bonus trends (up to 115%), market benchmarks, and Cognizant’s performance strategy. Final numbers may vary based on budgets and business needs.
I heard from my EDL... He told that this time expectations are more than last year... so considering for 3 star rating atleast 5% hike we will get... based on his words I can say those who performed best will get 10% Max.
That’s some solid input! Glad you shared what your EDL said. Sounds more realistic too. I agree—around 10% max seems likely for top-rated folks.
Yes
If we go like this then
It will be Rating 5 = 9-10%
4 = 7-8%
3= 5-6%
Is expected. Hope my EDL is right on this thing. 🙂
Bro I read your post and all comment replies, why the fuck you sound like an AI
My rating is 3. So how much net salary I can expect
