How to use
Use this to model a bigger scenario raise (promotion, negotiation, or COLA). Enter your salary and the percent, then bring the dollar figure to the conversation. A concrete number like "$4,800 more" lands better than "a little more".
FAQ
What is a good raise to ask for?
It depends on your performance, the market rate for your role, and company budgets. A 3%–5% raise is common for solid performance; promotions or hot skills can justify more. Always anchor to market data, not just a percentage.
Should I negotiate in dollars or percent?
Both. Lead with the dollar amount you want, then show the percentage so it is easy to approve. A concrete number ("$3,000 more") is harder to dismiss than "a bit more".
