How much above listed base pay can I ask for?

I’ve had two interviews for a Management role and got a call today that sounded pretty affirmative that I would be getting an offer soon.

Listed base pay is $70k + monthly/annual incentive bonuses. I confirmed in my first interview that $70k is the minimum and negotiable depending on fit/experience.

I currently make $70k and work from home with good benefits. Truly, I’m not jumping to leave it, but my effective pay increase over my 2 years is .03% and I don’t see a huge bump in my future.

I’ve kind of set my “in office” expectation at $15k, so I’m considering asking for $85k total with the hopes that I’ll approach $90k after bonuses, which would be so huge for me. Is that unreasonable? And if they were to agree to $85 or even come up to $80, would it be reasonable to ask my current job to match?

Thanks in advance
