In the past year alone, the Consumer Price Index (a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods) increased by ~4.2%. Since the CPI is a basic measure for the cost-of-living, ****this means that your salary is worth 4.2% less than it used to be.
We couldn't agree more. Which is why DoNotPay wants to help you request an inflation-based pay raise, also known as a cost-of-living raise. Our product takes into the account the national average CPI as well as the average year-over-year wage growth in your industry to make a convincing argument as to why you deserve the raise.
