It very much depends - do you feel underpaid for what you do? Asking for a raise just for doing a great job will likely not fly. If you’ve only been there for a year and are blowing it out of the water, your manager might be the one to suggest a promotion/raise. Can you quantify how much you saved/made the company? Can you show your worth beyond “doing a great job”?
Meeting deadlines is expected. Going “above & beyond” is subjective. You’re going to need to demonstrate ROI and taking on tasks not outlined in your job description to likely get anything above a cost of living raise.
You deserve a raise! You have been doing an excellent job and have been recognized by your boss. You should ask for a raise that is appropriate for your experience and skills. Has your boss given you any indicatives that you may be up for a promotion/raise?
You have not been at your job for very long and have not proven yourself yet. You should wait until you have been at your job for a longer period of time and have shown more dedication and commitment before asking for a raise. As someone else said, it's about ROI's and actually going above & beyond, meaning staying in late if need be, and taking tasks outside of your role.
All I want to say is congratulations for your first year on the job :) It's probably not something that a lot of people see, but if you feel like you do more than enough and are succeeding at it, then you're well on your way for a promotion. Just keep it up!
It's a bit subjective whether or not you "deserve" a raise so it's hard to say. BUT if you feel like you've learned a lot and are ready to take on a more demanding and higher paying role it's always worth looking into applying for another job somewhere else. Company loyalty is overrated imo
You can try to ask for a performance review and discuss it with your boss. Not so easy to give you an exact number that would be appropriate to ask for without directly working with you
