Morphology
The meaning 'an increase in the amount of money paid as a salary' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'salary' (regular payment for work) with 'increase' (growth/enlargement). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Salary increase joins salary (regular pay) and increase (to go up), so you can imagine someone's pay rising. That's why it means 'more pay' added to a person's salary.
