  I was recently asked in an impromptu manner by a potential employer (pre-interview phone conversation I had with the employer) about what i'm currently making or what I would like to make. I chose to give them the former and explain that I would be requesting a salary increase of no less than %20. It did not seem to deter them and I still have the interview (next week - whew!)

  I will realistically be asking for about 25%, but at the time did not feel comfortable telling them what I would like to ask for.

  I think it is good practice to always aim high - even if you don't think it's realistic. As was mentioned before you can always bargain down to the figure that you think is realistic.
