Annual Salary Increment Request Letter

An annual increment request lands best when it arrives before budgets are set, not after. Anchor it to the date of your last review and to what has changed in your scope since then.

Common questions

Should I name a specific number?

Yes. An unspecified request forces the other person to guess low or defer the decision. A figure gives them something concrete to take to budget.

Should I mention my current salary?

Only if the recipient does not already have it in front of them — usually they do. The field is optional in this builder for that reason.

What if the answer is no?

Ask what specifically would need to change, and by when. A documented answer turns a rejection into a plan with a review date.
