It is important to know what the industry is paying for jobs in your field. Once you have determined the industry salary, arrive at a figure based on your qualification and experience. This figure may or may not be above industry standard. Use this figure as the starting point of your negotiation. Always ask for a higher salary than what you are willing to accept. You must however be clear about the bottomline figure that you are willing to accept taking into consideration stuff such as allowances, paid vacation, health insurance etc.
Remember, when negotiating for a salary do not be forced to make an on the spot decision. Take some time to critically analyse what the company has to offer and use this information to arrive at a decision. See the following links on negotiations.

start with a number higher than you want. and dont go below the number you want. also remember they can negotiate other things more easily - like more vacation time... expense accounts... benefits...
