Salary Negotiation Script Generator
Get a ready-to-use negotiation script — an opening message, talking points, a counter-offer script, and a suggested number to anchor on. Free, instant, no signup.
How it works
Enter the role, your current CTC, and the CTC you were offered — both in LPA. Add a target number if you have one in mind, plus your years of experience and any leverage points (a competing offer, a rare skill, strong performance). The tool returns an opening script to start the conversation, a counter-offer script with a specific number, talking points, a one-line suggested anchor, and pitfalls to avoid.
How to use the script
Treat the generated scripts as a starting draft, not a transcript to read verbatim. Adjust the wording to match how you actually talk, and prefer a live call or video conversation over text or email when it is time to actually negotiate — tone and flexibility come through much better live than in writing.
Prepare the rest of the offer
Before you negotiate, use the Salary / CTC Calculator to double-check the exact hike the offer represents, and the Job Description Analyzer to confirm the role matches what was actually discussed.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the Salary Negotiation Script Generator work?
- Enter the role, your current CTC, the offered CTC, and (optionally) a target CTC, years of experience, and any leverage points. The tool writes an opening script to start the conversation, a counter-offer script proposing a specific number, talking points, a suggested anchor number, and common pitfalls to avoid.
- What if I don’t have a target number in mind?
- Leave target CTC blank. The tool will suggest a reasonable counter-offer — generally 10-15% above the offered CTC — as a starting anchor, which you can adjust before using it.
- What are "leverage points"?
- Anything that strengthens your position: a competing offer, a rare or in-demand skill, strong performance in your current role, or the team’s urgency to hire. Mentioning them (briefly, factually) helps the script sound like it is actually about your situation.
- Is my input stored?
- No. Your numbers and any leverage points you enter are used only to generate this one script and are never stored. Only anonymous usage analytics (that the tool was used) are recorded.
- Will this guarantee a higher offer?
- No tool can guarantee an outcome. This gives you a concrete starting script and structure for the conversation — the final result still depends on the company’s budget, your leverage, and how the conversation actually goes.
