Negotiation Language: What to Say

Weak approach
”I’d like a raise — living costs are getting high.”

Strong approach
”In last quarter’s project I contributed to a 15% revenue increase and an 8% improvement in customer retention. Based on market data, the going rate for my role and experience level is [X]. I’d like to request a [Y]% increase from my current salary.”

Take-home pay is reduced by social insurance contributions (pension, health, unemployment) and income tax. Exact amounts vary by country — typically 75–85% of gross salary reaches your bank account.
