Can anyone define a double-digit pay raise?

Question

I was told that I will be eligible for a double-digit pay raise but am not sure what that equates to?

If I make $35,000 a year (which is about 16.80 an hour) what would a double digit raise be? Is it an additional at least $10 an hour? Or is it an additional at least 10K a year raise?

I am confused!

Answer 1

"Double digit" generally refers to a percentage of wage increase. In order to be double digit, the raise should be 10% (two digits) or more.

Answer 2

double digit usually means you will receive a raise of 10% or more of your salary

so if you make $35,000 now and receive a 10% raise you will receive an additional $3,500 next year for a annual salary of $38,500.

Answer 3

Most places it means 10% or more. Probably a $1.75 an hr or so
