For those getting a merit-based raise (not a change in title), what % of annual salary is to be expected?

It is generally between 3-5%, but can go higher if you came in low

The hard sad truth is if you want more than 5%, don't wait. Get another offer and take it for 20%+ increase or if you like your current agency use the offer to get a match in your existing role. If money is a big factor in your career those are the paths to take, not waiting for a merit based raise. Of course once you get to a certain level it's a bit different because your team's accomplishments (awards, new business wins, growing the account) can be leverage for bonuses and bigger raises. Good luck!

The key is the word 'merit'. Depends on performance. Tends to be between 1-10%. Assuming your review is at the same time (and/or you have a manager who gives frequent input), you should know where you stand there.

I'm waiting to see what that is, if I'm offered it.

Are your asking merit based or inflation adjustment? Also, that depends on your level and merit level (I.e. annual review)

Agree that an on target rating is usually 3-5%

But yeah, not especially substantial

Inflation 1-3%, raise 3-10%. There's too many factors involved so it's about first evaluating your performance and whether you can easily communicate why you deserve X amount.
