Cost of Living Salary Adjustment Request
A cost-of-living request is separate from a performance raise, and saying so protects your next merit increase. Reference published inflation figures for your country rather than personal expenses.

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.
