Negotiating an annual salary increase
The government came out today stating that inflation is currently running at about 2.1% my employer conveniently always takes the government's advice on inflation.
Bizarrely I found this government website produced by the same people that come up with the 2.1% number? It has a calculator allows you to actually calculate your personal inflation based on your real monthly expenditure figures. National Statistics Online - Personal Inflation Calculator
If I plug in my numbers my personal inflation is 9%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who honestly has 2.1% inflation????
Has anyone got any experience of using such statistics in negotiations?

Your personal inflation is down to your lifestyle so it is up to you to sort that.
However, a company raise of 2.1% would say that they don't really value you very much. A raise over inflation is an incentive to keep you on board.
You are better looking at salaries in job and finding out who is better paid than you/industry average and going in with that.

our MD looks at the standard rate of inflation every year, then doesn't give us anything at all
Not had a payrise for 6 years, this is the 2nd company I have worked for in that time that doesn't give any kind of payrise at all

re: Pay and Inflation
Where I work we are divided based on job code
I am in the top bracket of my job code, last year got shares that vested over 4 years which are effectively worth 1k a year over the next 4 years.
So I indeed got zero, hoping for a bit extra this year
Inflation does not come into the argument, paid based on what your employer feels is adequete based on skills / competency

Quite true, where I work isn't great for annual increases - so started shopping and got an offer. When I told my employers they found another job for me and matched the pay rise. I've managed a 25% increase in 1 year. I'll give it another year or 2 and repeat the trick... Looking around is worth a punt in my book...
