Negotiating anything can be stressful. When it comes to securing a good salary, it’s hard to know the magic number that everyone can agree on, much less what you’re really worth as an employee. Both you and the company have differing priorities that don’t always align.

But most of the time, by simply asking for a higher salary, your only risk is getting a “no” in return. Since that’s the truth of the matter, it never hurts to ask during the job offer negotiation. And if they can’t meet your number or at least negotiate with you, then it’s time to decide if you can really make the role work.

The salary negotiation email typically comes after you receive a job offer. This is where you outline the salary you want and why you think you should get it. You send it to the HR representative or hiring manager who you’ve been talking to and interviewing with to ask for a higher salary than the one offered.

This all seems pretty simple. But numerous research has shown that women are hesitant to negotiate at all, even though negotiations more often than not turn into more money, or at least better benefits or other perks. This guide will walk through some stats about how women approach negotiations, tips for creating your salary negotiation email, and a few examples to get you started.

Gender and salary negotiation: Why many women don’t negotiate 

Unfortunately, research has shown time and again that women are less likely than men to negotiate their salaries, which contributes to the ongoing gender pay gap. When women start with lower salaries at one job, they make less at the next and the next and so on—they’re forever behind. 

Carol Frohlinger of Negotiating Women co-created a survey of 500 women that asks how they handle salary negotiations, if at all, and how they feel about doing it. The survey found that just 16 percent of women always negotiate their compensation after a job offer or during evaluations. Only 15 percent of women strongly believe they’re effective negotiators.

One reason for the latter finding could be that women haven’t had very good negotiation experiences. Frohlinger says, “Rather than use each new opportunity to build confidence, there is a tendency to let past experiences undermine their ability to advocate for themselves.” 

Even still, money is associated with success in many industries. Frohlinger says that “while it is about more than just salary, money is one indicator that contributes to an overall feeling of career success. ”

Women tend to feel more uncomfortable and apprehensive about negotiating in general. Surveys have shown that 2.5 times more women say they feel “a great deal” of apprehension about negotiating than men, and men negotiate four times as often as women. 

As Katie Shonk wrote for the blog of Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation, “women may be uncomfortable negotiating forcefully on their own behalf, a tendency that’s supported by evidence suggesting they face a social backlash in the workplace for doing so.”

These aren’t great numbers or facts to deal with when you’re navigating job opportunities and offers. As a woman, how can you improve your negotiation skills and get the salary you’re looking for? Next up, we’ll cover how to craft a winning salary negotiation email.

Writing a salary negotiation email: 8 tips for crafting a message with impact

You’ve just received a job offer email, or you’re due for a raise, and it’s time to write that negotiation email. These eight tips will help you send something you’re proud of, and you might just land a higher salary.

1. Don’t rush it

It may be tempting to reply to an offer right away, especially when you know you deserve more and are ready to list all the reasons why. But it’s wise to take some time and think about what you want to say and gather all applicable information. Write a few drafts of your email and remember that you have a bit of time to respond.

2. Stay professional

Another tactic women may drift toward is over-explaining everything in an attempt to justify the ask. Remember that you don’t need to give your life story or even explain why you need more money in your personal life. Stick to your qualifications and how they align with the numbers you’re asking for.

3. Be grateful but firm

You never want it to seem like you’re scoffing at an offer, especially if you actually want to work there. Show gratitude and enthusiasm about receiving the job offer so they know you’re serious about taking it. Talk about your excitement about the position. But, still be firm in asking for what you deserve. It’s more than possible to balance these two elements perfectly in an email.

4. Be super specific

It’s wise to have your ideal salary in mind before you even receive an offer. But after you see what they’re putting on the table, you need to be completely clear about what you want and why. Although ranges can be beneficial early in the job exploration process, ask for the specific salary you think you deserve when it comes down to the actual negotiation.

5. Emphasize your qualifications

You also need to make a strong case. List the qualifications you have that specifically relate to the job responsibilities at hand. Talk about your experience and how it sets you apart. Bring up particular projects where you excelled. Reference specific numbers you were responsible for that benefited your current company. This is where you can be convincing about what you’re worth and why. 

6. Back up your ask with research

Some companies may low-ball you, even while industry averages are higher. Do your research when coming up with your number. Consider including what the industry average is for your role’s salary as support for your ask. This helps you show the hiring team that you know your worth and won’t settle for less.

7. Mention other offers you received

It’s certainly acceptable to be interviewing elsewhere and considering other offers. If you’ve received a competing offer with a higher salary, but you’re really hoping to work for this company, you can bring up that offer in your negotiations. Let them know that their offer is your first choice if they can match the salary (but only if that’s really true).

8.

Prepare for different response scenarios

After you’ve created the perfect email and sent it along for consideration, prepare for a few different ways the negotiations could go. Often companies will accept a counter offer on the first try, but they may also try to negotiate with you a bit more. You should know what you will and won’t agree to upfront instead of waiting until they send another offer along. Also think about whether you’re willing to accept the role if they flat out say no.

Salary negotiation email examples for different scenarios  

It’s helpful to see what an effective salary negotiation email looks like. Use these examples as templates for your situation.

Example 1: Bringing in research

Dear (Hiring manager’s name),

Thank you for offering me the communications manager role at [company name]. The role sounds like it’s exactly what I’m looking for, and I feel my experience aligns well with the job responsibilities.

I wanted to discuss the proposed salary. The industry average for communications managers is around $115,000, and I believe that with my 12 years of experience as a communications specialist, that this is fair for the role. Please consider this request. 

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,

(Your name)

Example 2: Discussing specific qualifications and accomplishments

Dear (Hiring manager’s name),

First, I want to say how grateful I am to have received the job offer for communications manager at [company name]. I enjoyed meeting with you, and I’m excited about the possibility of working with you in a role that I feel aligns so well with my career goals. 

However, I feel that my experience as a communications specialist for the last 12 years, combined with my BA and MA in communications, warrants a salary closer to $115,000 for the role of director. In my current position, I’ve overseen numerous projects to promote [current company]’s brands and products and, in conjunction with the marketing department, we’ve increased the marketing ROI by 15%. I thus feel that this salary more closely aligns with the value I’ll be bringing to the role.

Thanks again for the offer, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Regards,

(Your name)

Example 3: Discussing other offers

Dear (Hiring manager’s name),

I was thrilled to receive the offer for the communications manager position with [company name], especially after learning more about the role and meeting with the team.

Before I accept, I want to discuss the base salary. I have received another offer from a different company for a similar role with a salary of $115,000. My first choice is [this company], however, so I’m prepared to accept if you are able to match this salary.

I’m excited about the possibility of working together, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,

Salary negotiation email — 8 examples and template

Unhappy with your starting salary? Don’t settle for less!

Here’s our tips on negotiating higher pay:

How to write a salary negotiation email

The cost of living crisis means many of us are struggling to survive with our salaries. The solution? Negotiating a higher salary.

Salary negotiation emails aren’t easy to write, but they are essential if you want to increase your earnings (and who doesn’t?). Typically, you’ll negotiate your salary when you accept a new job, but you can also attempt to get a raise when you get an internal promotion.

If you’re wondering how to negotiate a salary, we’ll break down the process for you into simple steps. We explain how to structure a salary negotiation email and how to present the best case for a pay rise.

To illustrate the principles, we provide 8 salary negotiation email templates. Next time you negotiate your salary via email, you’ll get more by following our advice!

If you need help, the fastest way to nail a professional tone, grammar and format is using Flowrite:

Why negotiate your salary?

So many jobs nowadays don’t advertise a salary. Instead, they say something like, “tell us your salary expectations.”

In other cases, they provide two figures – a lower and an upper figure. This means that the salary is negotiable, and you have leeway.

When the company makes you an offer, in most cases, they’ll try and pay you the lowest they can. There’s nothing wrong with that; they’re a business, after all. You need to know that, in most cases, there is some flexibility in the starting salary. But you’ll need to fight to get a raise.

Some people find salary negotiations to be complicated. They’re worried that the business may remove the offer. But you have to put this aside. Salary negotiations are, in most cases, part of doing business.

As long as you are polite and professional with everyone, you won’t have a problem. If you’re rude or unreasonable, that’s another story. 

The bottom line is you can and should attempt to negotiate your salary if you think you should earn more. 

Should you negotiate salary over email or phone?

The first question is: can you negotiate salary over email? Yes, of course, you can! So many of us now work flexibly that we may never get to meet and chat with our bosses in person.

Email is a great way to negotiate a raise because it lets you present a complete case. You can highlight why you deserve a raise (excellent performance, significant achievements, another job offer, etc.). 

Some guides suggest asking for a raise in person, but we disagree. Firstly, it may not be possible for you to meet your new manager in person.

Secondly, sending an email enables you to set out your case for a higher salary, provide evidence, and offer reasons why.

Lastly, an email enables you and your manager to save face if the answer is a hard no.

Will an email on its work? Probably not. You’ll likely need to speak to your manager, HR team, or senior boss to get any raise signed off, but that’s OK. The email is the start of the process.

How to ask if the salary is negotiable via email

Salary negotiation emails have to strike a delicate balance. The truth is that no boss or business wants to pay you more unless they have to. So your negotiation email must provide what we call a little peril. What’s peril? It’s a subtle (and, in some cases, not so subtle) suggestion of the consequences if you don’t get a salary raise. 

Let’s illustrate this with an example. Compare the two:

• Can we discuss my starting salary?
• I’ve been offered another job. Can we discuss my starting salary?

Which do you think will get the best response?

OK, so you may not have been offered another job. But there are several other ways you can raise the issue of your salary:

• I’ve discovered others in the business are earning more than me. Can we discuss my salary? 
• I’ve just landed a MASSIVE contract for us. Can we find time to discuss my salary?
• I’m highly qualified and can deliver from day 1. Can we chat about my starting salary?

When should you send a salary negotiation email?

Salary negotiation emails are typically sent when you’ve been offered a new job (or accepted a promotion). Usually, your employer will provide you with a contract and salary. You must negotiate the salary before signing a contract or accepting a role.

Because once you sign a contract, you agree to the terms and conditions, which could make negotiating a salary impossible (as well as unethical). 

The crucial thing here is to craft messages that present your case and are positive but aren’t rude or pushy. We illustrate this approach below, but you can spot the difference between these two approaches:

• I’ve received your job offer. Before signing, we need to discuss the starting salary.
• I was delighted to receive your job offer and am excited to join such a great company. However, I have some questions about the offer and wanted to discuss the starting salary.

Sure, the second one is longer and less direct, but think about which one you would prefer to receive – and which one is likely to get the best results?

Salary negotiation email format

We’re almost ready to get into some of the salary negotiation samples, but before we do, here’s how to format your messages. The salary negotiation email format is relatively simple; there’s a subject line, body, and sign-off.

But you will have to be sensitive in how you approach salary negotiations. Be too weak, and you’ll receive a firm (but polite) no. Be too pushy, and you could risk upsetting the recipient. Here are some tips on how to strike the right balance.

1. Subject line for salary negotiation email

Firstly, ask yourself if you need to create a subject line? Then, if you’re responding to a job offer email, you can directly reply to that email. 

However, in many cases, you’ll need to message the HR manager or your boss, and you’ll need to select a subject line. Some guides tell you to use your name and add something about salary negotiation. Of course, you could just go straight for it and tell them it’s a salary negotiation email, but it’s probably better to make it a little less direct. Here are some sample subject lines for salary negotiation emails:

• Can we chat about the starting salary?
• Starting salary – can we chat?
• Thanks for the offer. We need to chat about the salary

3. Body of salary negotiation email

This is where you’ll need to get a little creative and dig into the details. Firstly, start with a compliment and then go straight into the purpose of your message. 

• I was delighted to receive your job offer. Before accepting, I would like to chat about the starting salary.

The purpose of this email is to present a case for why you’re negotiating a salary (you currently earn more, you’ve been offered a job elsewhere, you have significant experience, and so on). But you must also remember this is about encouraging a conversation, so don’t give everything away. Here’s an example:

• I’ve reviewed your proposed starting salary, and it doesn’t match with similar roles I’ve seen advertised elsewhere. I have significant experience and believe that my starting salary should reflect this.

See how it works? You don’t just ask for more; you justify your requests with a reason (or reasons).

3. How to end a salary negotiation email

As we’ve explained before, it’s unlikely that your new boss or the HR team will simply up your salary after receiving your message. Instead, you’ll likely need to have a meeting or a call, so take charge and push for it. Here are a few examples of how to end a salary negotiation email:

• Can we arrange a time to meet or chat through my request?
• I’m free to talk about this on (date/time). Can you make it?
