Salary Negotiation Script Generator
Most offers have room to move, but only if you ask in a way that's easy to say yes to. Enter your numbers and context — get the words.
How it works
- 1
Enter the offer you received and the salary you want.
- 2
Add the context that supports your ask — market data, competing offers, scope.
- 3
Use the email or phone script, and prepare the objection responses before the conversation.
What recruiters look for
Ask once, with a specific number
A range invites the bottom of the range. A specific, justified number is easier to approve.
Lead with enthusiasm
You're negotiating with your future team. Make it clear you want the job before you talk about money.
Salary isn't the only lever
Sign-on bonus, start date, title, remote days, learning budget, an early salary review — if base is fixed, these often aren't.
Questions
Can an offer be withdrawn if I negotiate?+
It's rare when the request is polite, specific and reasonable — but it isn't impossible. Know your walk-away point before you ask, and don't negotiate an offer you wouldn't accept.
Email or phone?+
Email gives you time to choose your words and leaves a record. Phone is faster and more personal. Many people email to set up the conversation, then discuss by phone.
