Not interested in your salary amounts - but just wondering for those of you who have had yearly pay increases/raises - what did you ask for and/or what were you actually given?
Just out of curiosity I am trying to guage what the average annual % raise against current salaries is.
Many Thanks

i think you must take an account of what type of business and how much revenue it brings in, also which of it was profit

We're not asked, per se, but we write yearly evaluations about ourselves in regards to yearly performance/pay increase.
The average year is 2-3 %, however, after one year in my position I earned a 13% increase, which made a big difference. I felt really appreciated that they looked at market value for people doing my type of work and went with such a high percentage.

5% yearly is good, but it all depends on the heat of the meat.

They say inflation is 3% per year (but probably more right now thanks to cerain people in office) so I'd say anything more than that is good....Well not good but you know what I mean. Definitely do not get screwed by anything less!

we never get a raise, not if you ask for one yourself. and if you ask, they'll consider it. i was feeling not appreciated and researched my market value. found out i was getting way too little paid compared to people that were doing the same. i asked a 20% raise and i got it! if you don't ask, you don't get.

We yearly apply the raise in funcion of the publicity sector agreement + IPC (Consumer price tax), 0,5% + 3,7%(in Spain)= 4,2% Total this year.
Not bad...

I've been thinking about this recently.
I was supposed to have a 6 month review in my current job but it never happened I've now been there for about 8 months. It would still be good to have a review but should I be looking for a payrise?I do easily as much work if not more that the senior designers (who must be paid twice what I am) and I've been running my own project for a while now.
How much % raise should I ask for? I don't want to stay in this comapny for more than 2 years and I want to progress in that time.

Depends how much you get paid currently. I started on such a low wage that I could ask for quite a lot and get it.
Ask for more than you are worth in the market and you might just about get something fair.

5% yearly as long as you don't mess up real bad ... I'm asking for a much bigger chunk this year, this upcoming week actually.
* crosses fingers
Then again, I get paid to be a programmer, so I'm not quite sure how that corelates into designers and such.

5-7% at least.
since i changed my job almost every year or was doing consulting, i have been getting about 15% increase annually.

Yeah. I got a whopping 3% after busting out a new identity for the corp. Thanks. the AD knows I am pissed, and asks no questions when I need an afternoon off to interview.

Don't worry about industry averages, etc. Ask for what you think you deserve. If it's 20%, so be it. State your case, remind the powers that be of your work, contributions and so on. Never sell yourself short. It's good business.

20% or I walk. Unless I'm incarcerated.
