Frequently Asked Questions
What is a typical annual raise?
The average annual merit raise in the U.S. is typically 3-5%. Promotions may include 10-20% salary increases. High-demand fields (tech, healthcare) may see larger raises. Cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) aim to match inflation.
How does inflation affect salary growth?
If your salary grows at 3% and inflation is 3%, your real purchasing power stays flat. To actually get richer, your salary needs to outpace inflation. A 5% raise with 3% inflation gives ~2% real growth.
