Dear [Supervisor/Manager's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss an important matter that has been on my mind for quite some time. After careful consideration, evaluating my contributions, and the rising cost of living, I would like to formally request a salary increase. San Diego, California, is known for its vibrant and diverse economy. As one of the major cities in the state, it offers a high standard of living coupled with numerous opportunities for professional and personal growth. With its beautiful sandy beaches, thriving arts and culture scene, and a strong academic base, San Diego attracts talented individuals from all over the world. Living in San Diego comes at a significant expense. The cost of housing, transportation, healthcare, and overall necessities has been steadily increasing. The consistently rising prices have made it challenging for me to maintain a comfortable lifestyle despite my dedication and hard work. Since joining [Company Name], I have consistently strived to exceed expectations and contribute significantly to the success of the team. I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to the company's goals, consistently achieved or exceeded my targets, and actively sought ways to streamline processes and increase overall productivity. Moreover, I have also completed valuable training programs, certifications, and attended seminars to sharpen my skillet and enhance my ability to contribute effectively to the company's growth. I believe that my continued growth and professional development have had a positive impact on both my immediate team and the organization as a whole. Based on my research and conversations with industry peers, I have found that my current salary is below the market average for professionals in similar roles and with similar experience levels in San Diego. Recognizing my accomplishments and the dedication I bring, I kindly request a salary increase to bridge this gap. I would like to emphasize that my request for a salary increase is not driven by greed, but rather by the need to support my financial obligations in this expensive city while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I truly value my position at [Company Name] and wish to continue contributing positively to its success in the long run. Furthermore, I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information you may require to support my request. Thank you for taking the time to consider my appeal for a salary increase. I eagerly anticipate your response and hope that we can reach an amicable agreement that aligns with my contributions and the economic realities of living in San Diego. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Title] [Contact Information]
