As someone mentioned, you need to find your actual market worth, your perceived market worth to the company, and the plausibility of you working for a competitor. When and if you do discuss a raise, I strongly recommend presenting yourself and your case solely upon the grounds of your specialized value. What makes what you do better than fellow employees or prospective employees? How hard is it to find another employee, also think along the lines of how hard is it for competitors, to offer what you offer? If you're just having some great numbers this year, or if it could appear as though that's the case, I strongly recommend waiting until these numbers reflect a long-term consistent pattern, though you may already be there. Further, you should also do your best to find out the financial health of your company...healthy then go for it, struggling, then don't. Anyway, wish you the best...I swear to god you better not be a pizza delivery guy! With out giving too much detail, what kind of work do you do?
