After-Tax Impact
A $2,500 raise doesn't mean $2,500 more in your pocket. After federal tax (22% bracket), state tax (~5%), and FICA (7.65%), you'll keep roughly 60–70% of the increase. A $2,500 raise nets about $1,500–$1,750 after taxes.
💡 Negotiation Tip
When negotiating, ask for 10–15% more than your target. Employers expect counter-offers, and starting higher gives you room to meet in the middle at your actual goal.
