Salary Increment Request Letter to HR

When the request routes through HR rather than your manager, the letter needs to stand alone without context. Include your role, tenure, last review date and a summary of achievements your manager would otherwise supply verbally.

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.
