annual increase
Once-yearly growth rate
An annual increase is a rise that occurs once per year, typically in wages, rent, or costs: The contract guarantees a 3% annual increase.
The phrase often appears in discussions of budgets, benefits, and inflation adjustments.
Though technically neutral, annual increase usually refers to amounts going up rather than down—annual decrease covers the opposite.
