RAISE YOUR PAY
Don’t just ask for more. Build the case for it.
The KUW Raise Your Pay Toolkit is being built to help you prepare for compensation conversations with evidence, numbers, and language you can actually use.
- Know your current hourly and annual value.
- Translate a raise into real yearly dollars.
- Document wins, responsibilities, and measurable impact.
- Prepare a calm, direct compensation conversation.
- Decide what you’ll do if the answer is “not right now.”
REAL-LIFE SCENARIO
“They offered me 75¢ more. Is that good?”
At 40 hours a week, a 75¢ hourly raise is about $1,560 more per year before taxes.
That number may be meaningful—or it may not match the extra responsibilities you’re taking on.
KUW asks:
What changed in the job, and what is that change worth?
