    dollar amount.

    your raise will be compared to everyone else in the company's income probably. asking for a 5k raise (an extra $96 bucks per week) is a figure that can be analysed and approached correctly. if you ask for a percentage that 5k can look like way to much even if you're worth it.

    in all the places i've worked i've never heard of anyone asking for a percentage raise. it's a too simplistic way to approach it in my view.

    my 2cents for all it's worth.
