Raise request letter — your achievements, your number, and what each offer is worth
Short answer. Put in your salary, the raise you ask for and, if you have one, an outside offer: you see each choice over a year and 3 years. Your number: Raise you ask for, in % and in $ a year (Your calculation).
- Prepare: 3–5 achievements with numbers: type the date
- Follow up in writing: type the date
Check your own case.
A week to prepare, a week to follow up — a plan, not a rule.

Raise request letter
Your ask, their counter-offer and an outside offer — over 3 years
Your salary, the raise you ask for and, if you have one, an outside offer. You see what each choice is worth in a year and in 3 years, and a letter with your achievements.
Want a reminder a week before the conversation and a follow-up a week after?
The calendar file works without an account. The reminder needs a free account to know where to send it.- Write 3–5 achievements with numbers in the workbook below: revenue, savings, time, customers.
- Ask for the conversation in writing — the letter below asks for a meeting and states your number.
- After the talk, send a short follow-up with what was agreed and the date it takes effect.
Plain arithmetic: a year = salary (+ the benefits value you put in); 3 years assume no other raises. No market statistics are used — put in your own numbers and offers.

Bring results, not reasons. Three numbers beat three paragraphs.
I put your ask, their counter-offer and the outside offer side by side — over 3 years the gap is bigger than it looks.
An illustrated character, not a lawyer.
Deadlines
The rules, with the source
| What | Deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Your number | Raise you ask for, in % and in $ a year | Your calculation |
| Their counter-offer | What a smaller raise is worth over 3 years | Your calculation |
| An outside offer | Salary + benefits a year, compared with staying | Your calculation |
No law sets a raise. This is arithmetic with your own numbers; 3 years assume no other raises.

Questions
How do I write a letter asking for a raise?
Short: your role and time in it, 3–5 achievements with numbers, the raise you ask for, and a request for a meeting. The template below has this order.
Should I accept a counter-offer?
Compare what each choice is worth over 3 years — salary and benefits — in the calculator, then decide what matters to you besides money.
How much should I ask for?
There is no rule. Use your results and any outside offer you have; the calculator shows what each number means in a year.
