Write the salary negotiation email you keep putting off
Asking for more money feels awkward, so the reply sits in drafts while the deadline gets closer. Pick the situation, enter the offer and the figure you want, add your reasons, and you get a polite, specific email to send. It is a fill-in template, not AI: the facts and the final wording are yours.
Results you delivered, the scope of the role, pay data, another offer. Up to five lines.
If the salary cannot move, I am open to
Private The email is assembled inside your browser and is never sent anywhere. What you type is kept only in this browser so the page remembers it; “Clear” erases it.
How the email is put together
Each email follows the same order: thanks and a clear sign that you want the job, the one thing you would like to change with the exact figure, your reasons as a short list, an alternative if the salary cannot move, and a direct question that is easy to answer. The first line of the output is the subject.
“Collaborative” looks for a way to say yes, “firm” states the figure you would sign at, “brief” says it in a few sentences. If you give no reasons, a line in [brackets] reminds you to add them. The tool does not suggest a figure: it uses the two numbers you enter and shows the difference in percent under the email. No AI is involved, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Questions about the negotiation email writer
How do I counter a job offer by email?
Thank them, say you want the job, name the one thing you would like to change and the exact figure, give one or two reasons, and end with a direct question. Keep it short and send it to the person who made the offer.
How much more can I ask for?
Ask for a figure you can back with evidence: what similar roles advertise, another offer, or the scope of the job. This tool does not pick a number for you; the salary checker shows what open postings advertise for your category and level.
Is it risky to negotiate a job offer?
A polite, reasoned request is a normal part of hiring, and these templates keep the tone respectful. No tool can promise how a particular employer will react, so decide beforehand which figure you would accept.
Should I negotiate by email or on a call?
Email gives you time to choose your words and leaves a written record; a call is quicker and warmer. You can do both: the collaborative template states your figure in writing and offers to talk it through on a call.
