Short summary
Behind inflation
Even with a nominal raise, your salary appears to lag inflation in real terms.
What does the protected salary mean?
The protected salary is the old salary adjusted upward by the inflation rate.
If your new salary is below that level, you lose purchasing power even if the raise is nominally positive.
How should you read the result?
A positive nominal percentage can still produce a negative real change.
