How much is reasonable to ask for raise?
Me and my wife are Youth pastors. About 65-80 kids on Sundays, 50-60 on Wednesday.
We run services and oversee about 45 volunteers in a church of about 400 members.
We don’t really do much outside of preparing, planning and doing 3 services a week. (2 Sunday morning and 1 Wednesday). I’d say 20 hours a week between my wife and I.
We currently make about $5,700 a year but are considering asking for a modest raise. We both work full time and don’t necessarily need the money, but definitely wouldn’t hurt either.
I assume we are very likely due a raise, but what’s an appropriate ask? $15k a year? $20k? $10k?
What are your thoughts?
