When you are able to provide evidence that you can contribute more than what you were originally hired to do.
In otherwords you tell your boss...I deserve an increase in pay because in addition to X, I am now able to do both X and Y.

Forget the amount of time. What have you done since you started? You should be able to show the employer what you've done that should merit a raise. If you are stuck in a job where you have little or no opportunity to do more than the minimum to earn a raise (extreme example, a janitor...) then find another job where you can go beyond the minimum and be rewarded for it. Is this easy? no. Does it take time, effort, and planning? yes. But why should someone pay you more just because you've been sliding by doing the minimum for a certain period of time? Don't expect to earn more pay as a reward just because you've been showing up on time for x number of years or your raises will be hard to win, smaller than you'd like, and few and far inbetween

most employers offer a small raise after the probation period which is usually 90 days with an annual increase at the start of their fiscal year. So I wouldn't ask before the 90 days

Make sure that you have actually accomplished something that was out of the ordinary before you ask for a raise. You should not ask for a raise just because you show up for work on time and do the bare minimum work; you'll get a raise when you get your performance rating if you fit that.
If you are continually late for work, you cannot name out-of-th-ordinary things that you have accomplished, or you have to be told numerous times what to do or when to do it, don't embarrass yourself by asking for a raise--- ever.

Absolute soonest would be six weeks.. 2 or 3 months is better.
I worked in a managerial position and was in charge of raises for
my subordinates. My advice would be no sooner than 6 weeks.. personally, I wouldn't ask before 8.

These days it's not a good idea to ask for a raise. Your job could be outsourced to a Third-World country.
