New monthly income = old income + amount of increase

+475+%2B+17.1+
+492.1+
The new monthly income is $492.10

Change the percentage to its decimal equivalent: 3.6% = 0.036 then multiply this by your present monthly income to find the amount of the raise, then add this to your present monthly income to find your new monthly income.
$475.00+0.036($475.00)=$475.00+$17.10 = $492.10
