Infosys Salary Hike 2026: October Hike Is Coming, But How Much?

Infosys is approaching the next phase of its FY27 salary revision cycle, with most employees expected to receive their salary hikes from October 2026. Senior employees are scheduled to receive their revisions from January 2027.

The two-phase salary revision plan was confirmed by Infosys during its Q1 FY27 results. However, the company has not yet announced the average hike or a common percentage for employees in the upcoming cycle.

Infosys Salary Hike From October

Infosys CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka said during the Q1 FY27 earnings call that the company would implement salary revisions in two phases.

The first phase will cover most employees from October, while the second phase for senior employees is planned for January 2027.

For employees waiting for the October revision, the key question now is how much their salaries will increase.

Infosys has not disclosed a company-wide hike percentage, so previous salary revision figures should not be treated as an indication of what employees will receive this year.

IT giant had rolled out annual salary hikes of 6–8% for employees in India in 2025.

While the company has not yet announced the salary hike percentage for FY27, based on its recent salary-revision history and market, the hike could remain in the mid-to-high single digits, around 5–8%.

This is only an editorial estimate and not an official figure from Infosys; the actual hike will depend on the company’s final decision.

Infosys Q1 FY27 Performance

The salary revision comes after IT giant reported its Q1 FY27 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The company reported revenue of ₹48,211 crore and net profit of ₹7,769 crore for the quarter. IT giant retained its FY27 operating margin guidance at 20–22%. The company also revised its FY27 constant-currency revenue growth guidance to 1.5–3%.

These numbers provide the broader business context in which the upcoming salary revision will take place. However, Infosys has not linked the October salary hike percentage to its revenue or margin guidance.

Infosys Continues Fresher Hiring

IT giant also continues to focus on fresher hiring.

The company has said it plans to hire around 20,000 fresh graduates during FY27. It hired more than 4,000 freshers during the first quarter, according to reports on the company’s Q1 results.

The hiring plans and salary revision cycle together show that Infosys continues to manage both fresh talent intake and compensation for its existing workforce.

What Infosys Employees Should Watch

For employees waiting for the October revision, the key details will be:

• Salary hike percentage
• Revised fixed pay
• Effective date
• Performance-linked components, where applicable
• Impact on monthly salary

The company has not announced a single hike percentage applicable to all employees.

Final Comments

Infosys’ FY27 salary revision cycle is now moving closer to its first major implementation date, with most employees expected to receive their hikes in October 2026 and senior employees in January 2027.

The biggest unanswered question remains the size of the hike. IT giant has not yet announced an average or standard percentage for FY27. Based on its recent salary-revision history and market, the increase could be in the 5–8% range.

For now, employees will have to wait for the October revision details. Until then, earlier hike figures or industry-wide estimates should not be treated as confirmed numbers for Infosys.
