I found out that my colleagues are getting paid more than I am for the exact same role. We are due for an appraisal soon, should I ask for higher percentage telling them I am underpaid compared to others?

Make your case for a raise based on the value you bring and how much you deserve. Don't base your argument only on how much you are paid relative to your co-workers. The fact they make more than you is more of a support argument than your main argument. You may not know all the reasons behind why they earn what they earn.

Pay is not always based solely on a job description. It’s often based on merit and how valuable you are to your team. It is not uncommon for this to go under the radar. Ask for more but only after you do an audit of your contributions. What was the quality of your work? Did you go above and beyond? Etc. Then present this with specific examples to your manager before you ask for more. Build a compelling case. It’s tricky using the comparison to your colleagues as the only reason for a raise.
