In general, you should check with industry rate, check your company rate and then demand. Sometimes, eventhough the industry rate is high and the company is not doing good, your employer cannot accept your demands. So you should keep in my your company status before asking for a raise.

It depends on your work history with your current employer. Also what others are being paid that is doing the same amount of work that you are doing and have been on the job for the same amount of time. Also I found that before I asked for a raise, I make sure my evaluations are great and during my evaluations, I would ask my boss for a raise. Make sure you point out what you have down to increase productivity or profits in your company. If he or she says no, then ask; what you can improve to get a yes the next time. Write it down and have him initial it and then work on it. Always set your self up for a next time, because before you know it, it will be that time again. If you have a bad report still ask and write it down and work on improving yourself. The most important thing is to be prepared, you can also go to human resources and find out the most you can make in your current position. I hope I was helpful.......

Check the industry rate on payscale.com or salary.com. This will help you determine if you are underpaid. Also, be sure to have an entire list of reasons why you should be paid more. That way, when you talk to your boss, you will be able to counter what the boss says. Make sure to emphasize the importance of you accomplishments and contributions in your job.

You want the most, the employer wants the least (in most cases anyway)
You have to honestly evaulate your performance since your last 'review' or whatever you want to call it.
Typically 3% to 12% is the range, in my opinion.

It depends on a combination of the unemployment rate in your area and how underqualified you are.

I think you might have better luck if you learn to spell raise.
