Salary Negotiation Coach — Counter-Offer Script Generator
Enter the offer once — role, company, offered and target monthly gross, your experience and one concrete achievement — and read the ask in numbers, a realistic-band verdict and a complete negotiation script in email, verbal or chat form that you can copy, edit and send.
Quick answer
Generate a personalised counter-offer email, verbal talking points or chat script from your offer, target and evidence — with realistic-ask bands and follow-up plans, computed locally.
Most candidates lose money at exactly one moment: the three seconds after hearing a number, when they either say "OK, thank you" or panic into an unprepared counter. The Salary Negotiation Coach removes the improvisation. You enter the offered monthly gross, the target you can defend, your years of relevant experience and one concrete achievement, and the tool computes the ask as a percentage, tells you whether it sits inside the realistic 10–20% band for private-sector offers in Nepal, and assembles a complete script that opens with gratitude, attaches the number to your evidence, and closes with a pre-planned exit so the conversation can never turn into an ultimatum.
The output adapts to where the negotiation actually happens: a formal email reply you can paste and send, verbal talking points ordered for a live call (with the instruction to stop talking after the ask), or a compact chat paragraph for WhatsApp follow-ups. If your target is not above the offer, the tool switches to a value-confirmation script that negotiates the non-cash package instead — a written 6-month review with raise criteria, joining bonus, transport or housing allowance, training budget or extra leave — the items that routinely add 5–15% of real annual value without touching a payroll band. Everything is generated in your browser: nothing is uploaded, stored or logged, and the page works fully offline.
Salary Negotiation Coach — Counter-Offer Script Generator — Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how the tool works. Tap any question to expand.
How big a counter is realistic in Nepal?
Most private-sector offers carry 10–20% of negotiation room; niche or scarce skills can stretch further. Asking for 15–25% above a lowball first offer is normal and expected — asking for double rarely is, unless you hold a scarce certification or the role has been open for months. The coach computes your ask percentage and words the script accordingly: inside 20% it stays assertive, beyond that it leans harder on evidence (achievements, certifications, market bands) so the number reads researched rather than greedy.
Will negotiating cost me the offer?
A polite, evidence-backed counter almost never withdraws an offer — the company has already decided it wants you, and re-running recruitment is expensive. What does sour offers is tone and timing: ultimatums, invented competing offers, or negotiating after you agreed. The generated scripts keep three safety rails — gratitude first, the number attached to your evidence, and an explicit "happy to meet in the middle" exit — so the worst realistic outcome is the original number, and the common outcome is somewhere between.
My target is below or equal to the offer — what does the tool generate?
It switches to a value-confirmation script instead of a money counter: thank the employer, confirm the salary in writing, and negotiate the non-cash package — a written 6-month review with raise criteria, joining bonus, transport or housing allowance, training budget, extra leave, a flexible or hybrid schedule, or an earlier joining date. Those items routinely add 5–15% of real annual value without touching the payroll band — and if you are unsure how they stack, run both versions through the Job Offer Comparator.
Are my salary figures uploaded anywhere?
No. The script is assembled in your browser the moment you press Generate — nothing is transmitted, saved or logged, and the page works fully offline. Copy places the text on your clipboard, Download saves a .txt from a local Blob, and closing the tab erases everything. Your numbers stay between you and your draft.
